He's been trying to sell it for the last year, started out at $A30,000, then $A26,000, the $A14,000 and finally this time it appears to be sold for $A9,000. I don't think it's even worth 1/2 that :roll:

I know, it deserves more than a lifetime ban, sorry :oops:

But if that's to be my punishment, what do we do with those people that don't think it's an abomination? Burning at the stake would be too good for them :twisted:

I would have thought the engine being in the front would be a bigger give away than the fact it had a 2tg :lol:

It's actually a kit released late 70's/early 80's called a ferruno
I believe there were quite a few of these made - i have pics of 5 of them

Take one TA22 celica and chop it up and add a bit of fibreglass it to make a ferrari replica

The celicas were quite common in oz, and back then a ferrari was quite a status symbol - this replica isn't too bad a copy of the ferrari

In their own way i think they are quite good - obviously fetching a good price now.
