Not wishing to start an argument but I've always liked the name, I thought it was quite clever for a replica of a car :-)
Yes I've been drinking, what of it!!

I hadn't realised that MEV had sold the project/rights on to ANC....so that was a nice little rad over a gulp of coffee.

Interesting ( to me atleast ) that the colour combination/wheel choice and ride height (way tyres fill the arches) affects the look drastically for period type cars. More so than contemporary 'kits'.

Liking where it's got to so far John....anymore lockdowns and you'll be on the next project!

That's my point, "it's a car and it's a replica, so what should we call it? I know...". That's one lazy marketing department ;)

Would have been netter to have called it the Carrep - sounds a bit funkier :D
