DRB Taipan for sale at carsales.
http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/private/FERRARI/DINO_REPLICA/details.asp...
Not mine, but I've spoken to the owner. The Taipan is type 3 based, with a mid-mounted 1500cc Nissan engine.
DRB only made 6 of these, so they are one of the rarest Australian made VW based kits. The owner fitted the (IMHO) quite unattractive spoilers and
'Testarossa' styled sides.
I'm only posting this as my Sabre MK2 (basically the same body but one-piece, and rear-engined) has generated a lot of interest, and the Taipan is a
far more impressive car.
If my car was ready for sale, this would already be in my garage!
A POSSE AD ESSE.

All kinds of wrong. Too many kit cars look like the poor imbred cousin, adding the wings and shit makes it worse.

Not exactly a sleeper. I'd rather spend that kinda money on a big engine in a ratter just to keep the ricers guessing.:alien

FMD that's seriously ugly. Remove the Testarossa rubbish, skirts, airdam and wanker wing and it might look half way decent.

Agreed, Chris. Nothing under $200,000 turns heads like these kits.
But then, this sort of thing IS my thing.

It looks like a 70's sports racer.
But what is that behind in the garage, a D type replica?

Yep, D-type Jag race roadster replica. Also for sale on carsales. Unregisterable only because of plexi windscreen.

PMSL, thanks jo_tas, yeah the Taipan needs a lot of ...redirection.
BUT: I can see what waits below the poorly executed body mods, and I'd still like it in my garage.
