Every once in a while a genius turns up and this man is one of those times.
Considering he used to use Bricks and mortar to build things,to turn his hand to this he has to be.

Haven't seen Gerry's coupe but I did see Chris Flanagan's (Retro Sports Cars) in its early stages. That's when you appreciate the amount of work that goes in to it.

Without (at all) wishing to rubbish what has been created, as I can appreciate the time and effort gone in to this, but why were the exhausts mounted in the middle of the rear bumper? It just doesn't look right at all to my eyes, they should've been in the usual place at the bottom.
Other than that, well done, and it's a shame MG-Rover never made it. I'd be driving round in one if they had. |

I like them, the only thing that would concern is the height of them, but I do like cars with exhausts incorporated into the bodywork. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

I had the privilege of sitting in this at the Restoration Show at the NEC earlier in the year. It's a magnificent achievement, made all the more remarkable when you consider it's the work of just one man . A stunning car.

This is fantastic work, I’ve built a few bikes and trikes over the years but to modify an existing body shell into a new form takes a lot of skill, time, and patience.
I’ve seen the pickup and the 150 but not seen the coupe in real life yet.
