A friend of mine had a MR2 Turbo import with full Veilside Kit on it.
When he mentioed "bodykit" the first thing they asked was "ferrari" If it had had that they would not have given him insureance. They are a pig to insure and a pig to get remotely looking like a Ferrari.

your best bet is to find a club with 355 replicas anf GT40 replicas and stuff.
Cant remember their name but they had a tent at donny a couple of years back.
Im sure a club like that would help you.
Your looking at about 4 grand for a reasonable condition mr2 turbo and then 5 or 6k for a good 355 kit and fitting.
Soo many people get it wrong and they look shit.
They you need the wheels, leather changed for cream and H gate for gear stick and logos.
Its a lot of work but when its done properly they look good. If you skimp they look crap!

ditch if you get a proper kit then it will be the right size. needs to be about six inches wider each side.

you can insure them as kitcars, which is good because kit car insurance can be very cheap
