No idea.

I couldn't tell you if Perenti actually sold any finished running cars. All
I know is that the bloke I knew with one built his as a kit, and his had a
308 in it.

They dont look that bad. I'd rather this styling than the absolutely hideous
front-end treatments that pass for OK these days. If you take a timeless
shape such as an E-type (must have fat-rubber tho) or a 2002 BMW, they still
look good.

The funny thing is, when you are driving behind an HD Holden these days, the
body treatment looks terrible,..something to do with
contemporary-conditioning perhaps.

Yes,..they all look similarly bad :-)
