non vw but different
« on: February 12, 2010, 09:54:20 AM »
ive been wanting to share this for a while but refrained due to it being another non aircooled vw....however  
....many years ago i owned one of these rediculously ugly kit cars , its a Concept Centaur from concept cars UK.
 built in 197? using hillman imp running gear. watercooled inline four in the rear . it was the hardest thing to see out of the windows , you had to practically lay flat on your back it was so low. the rear window had 2 windows , one on the inside between driver and engine then one on the outside, yes that little slot is the rear window.   once officially the worlds lowest car at only 37" high.  my neighbours and everyone in town called it the pink panther mobile. i sold it back to the original owner in 91.
 also the car used in the cult movie 'a clockwork orange'. if youve never seen this film , add it to your 'must see' movie list . weird n funny but a must see.   searchin online and found a few pictures.

like i said it was rediculously ugly but was a real "Ed Turner".
