    ....and a Continental "Mark III" idea, that really needs at least a V12 engine... 25f22tfsasvyisy0ovx4opq4jyfh0mst.jpg

    Usually dont like em. Always look kinda "chunky" or off. But this one looks perfect. Could just be a perfect photo tho...

    Wow that Mark III needs to be built! Definitely with a V12.

    That thing started life as a Citroen BX. Google it.
    The custom version was called 'Dualatron'.
