I agree its the worst D type replica. :'(

Made by Tribute Automotive, and called the A352, it was built in 2012 and is based on a Triumph Spitfire.

I guess it has the Spitfire 1500cc engine.

Horrible car. :yuck:

That's it, yes!
It could also be based on a GT6 just to give it a bit more oomph, and I believe it's related to our old friend the Sammio.

And since you all like this car so much here's another photo of it!:

I just read the thread on that "certain website" concerning the chosen base for the Tribute. Those kit-car fans live in a different universe. Still I suppose we can't all afford Lynx or Proteus copies, but why not just restore a perfectly respectable Spitfire, rather than make something that'll make small children cry ?
