Chris Wilson Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Might be the drink, except I haven't been out over New Year, nor touched a drop in the house, but I almost like the look of this thing. I have no idea whether they are good, bad or indifferent, and have never seen one in the flesh, but, save for the fussy rear end, where I dislike the LED protruding tail lights, and high level brake light letterbox, it's quite appealing, in a retro way. I think less TVR like headlamps would help, too, but, well, judge for yourselves: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/208887.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Sorry can't help you i REALLY like them, it's a dressed up Beemer, no stigma owning it tho, as no one knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I've seen a couple in the metal (one was at the Nurburgring in fact, though I didn't notice it lap) and they're nice. Not quite my cup of tea, but I like them. Fitted with the previous M3 engine, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Gorgeous in the flesh, but way over-priced. Also seen two of them at the Ring, but not lapping, just parked up looking pretty. Still, I think it's a good looking car. No idea of the fit and finish or performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I always fancied one of these when I was a kid.... not too sure now. Looks very dated and a bit rubbish, lol. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/319639.htm Blergh! This is horrible - looks like an Elise and an Elan got busy except all the worst bits were the result... a bit like Danny Devito in Twins. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/187866.htm I'm surprised they made 3 - surely after 1 you'd realise what a terrible, terrible mistake you'd made?

I didn't realise they'd redesigned the front end of the Kumala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 No no no IMO they're hideous Steve The second one definitely is - yuk yuk and yuk a thousand times! I think most of the appeal I used to find the Lister had, was probably from it's rather fuzzy representation in a playstation game 10 years ago or more! Now I look back I dont' know what I was thinking, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I didn't realise they'd redesigned the front end of the Kumala. I didn't realise they'd designed it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It does look nice, definately stands out from the crowd. Richard Hammond has ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Fitted with the previous M3 engine, too. This one says it has a BMW V8, so it must be either the *current* M3 engine (unlikely..?) or previous M5 engine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I *ALMOST* like the look of this... Help me... You don't need help, they look fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 for that price you can get something better looking:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 for that price you can get something better looking:p Agreed, it unique but for 80k there'd be a lot of cars above it on my list The front looks ok but the rear looks a bit too kitcar-ish..
