Yes they stopped making "Gallorados" around 2013 IIRC, so was curious as to what the delay was in taking delivery.

Perhaps it is being converted from an old MR2.

I saw a couple of ‘Ferrari’s’ that were based on MR2s at a car show. One of the saddest things I have ever seen. They even had big brake discs and callipers painted on a panel behind the wheels

Paddy McGuiness was driving a yellow one in this last series of Top Gear.

MR2s are great cars in their own right - and going up in value too.

Would be a shame to butcher one in an attempt to make it in to something its not

Is that like the people that put a Bentley body kit and badge on Chrysler? We had one of those down the road could never work out if the wife knew she was driving a Chrysler and not a Bentley.

Similar - but the body hacks / cost to make it happen is £,£££s to ££,£££s

Those big Chryslers were quite decent cars in their own right.  No need for Bentley badges.
