Another Scooby Firenza

Looks like there's another one in progress: https://www.pmcustoms.co.uk/firenza

It does look like the 2 Crestas in the 'For Sale' section have been well done. Not a big fan of the modern interiors in them though.

Or should it be a Firenza Scooby? The lay says that the ID stays with the chassis or underbody that the running gear is attached directly too. I don't remember seeing many 4WD Subarus back in 1972.....

Quite a few people seem to have ignored that to get a 'tax free' number plate, but I wonder how the 'no MOT' situation will affect them.

This car will need an IVA, so will get a new chassis number and reg number for the year it is finished. It will be a 'special', it cannot retain any ID of either car, if it is finished this year it will get a 2018 plate, have 3 years MOT exemption, then will need an MOT for the rest of it's life. It's basically a 'silhouette' of a firenza. Very well done, but will have no claim to being anything but a new build. If it does appear on the road with it's firenza ID or even it's scooby ID it will be illegal, and one to be avoided.
