Rebody?

[Z Victor 1]

I see lots of Z3 based rebodies on here, but I must say I like the look of this 'Z8'. Using an E85 Z4 donor,which has an almost the same wheelbase, it's quite convincing. I guess it's an American 'kit' which may be no longer available, but interesting.

From those pictures its hard to tell its a knock off. Looks good.

I don't really understand the point of a Z8 replica TBH. By the time you have built it, it would cost nearly as much as a real Z8 costs (probably a cheaper one admittedly). The car in the picture has a Z4 interior and dash. One of the unique features of the Z8 is their dash and interior.

I see the attraction of building replicas of cars that are unattainable due to their cost and rarity. But then I would as I have built one.

At least it is still badged as a BMW.

There's an "advert" for one on my doomscroll.

Yes Alex, although on that one the dash is disappointing as @Pond points out. Like anything, depends how much you want spend.

It would do, as it's a replica of a BMW, built on a BMW. Did you expect Peugeot badges?

But I guess that was a 'dig' at those of us who have 'used' a Z3 to replicate something else (better).

Only if its pretending to be a Peugeot.
