Oh it's got powerfolds

Hats off to the guy who built it as that was some heck of a job engineering this one.

I think this type of thing is ideal for shows as a crowd puller

I think the rear mirrors may just be folded in manually, otherwise you'd put the powerfolds on the front, surely?

Not sure about the sandstone though, might just be the lighting.

Just wish it had two engine though, that would be fantastic!

You may be right re the colour, I bet rear quarter vision is poor!

Well at least it has got parking sensors on the back.

Or is it the front?

You can go even further with the two header concept. Take two touriers and just cut the tailgates off and join them, you then will have a 75 with four doors each side. You will of course need to remove the two middle sets of wheels if you want to drive it, but well crafted bodywork can still give the impression the wheels are still in place. It will be street legal as it will be less than 39ft.

I guess it would make reversing easy, just jump out and run round...

Nice idea, but the exhaust at the "end" is poor done. Would have made it invisible

Definately different that

I like it, and in this one you truly do have a backseat driver.

Did they not do this on Top Gear with two Alfa's.?.
