Also doors! And an engine! And believe it or not, it even has a windshield :wink:

That’s an interesting car, but I can’t say anything. Mid engined 1940s car is a good idea, however.

It’d only work on the open beta though due to the fact that mid engine cannot use the ladder chassis.

Well, you say it has doors, wheels, an engine, and a windshield, but does it have fenders and bumpers?

@Madrias: it does!

The Suburban/Avalanche is now available! First post has been updated, and here’s the standalone download:

Please do an Aston Martin style body! :slight_smile:

And not the Aston Martin Cygnet if you do. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m just imagining the struggle of trying to make an engine short enough to fit in that body.

In comes the power bulge!

I always liked the lagonda, I never understood the hate some people had for it.
Admittedly reliability was a bit low but that about sums up the uk car industry at the time.
They have 5.8l v8 btw

5.3 actually. But the engine pales in comparison to that interior.

The future has arrived… in 1976 :laughing:

While I can appreciate the sci-fi design of the interior at the time, I’ve never been a fan of the Series II Lagonda. The Series I, on the other hand…

Wow… never knew that existed! Not sure about the grille but the body is gorgeous.

Yeah, I don’t know why they added that centre section to the grill, but other than that, a four-door classic Vantage that looks great.

Personally I prefer the four door version of the two door version of the Fiat 130, better known as the 130 Opera.

The Agnelli family had one of those you know. They also had that golden Wagon version of the two door version of the 130 Berlina, better known as the 130 Maremma. Then again the Agnellis ALWAYS drove custom one off Fiats.

My favourite rare 4 door is the Ferrari 456 GT Venice, with a few wagons made for the sultan of Brunei and a handful of sedans made as well.

So with the forum change, the standalone body files have thankfully migrated, but the links in the first post all link back to the archived forum. I will work on fixing that at some point, so for now it’s a bit of a roundabout way to get them.

The Trans Sport body has been updated slightly. The first post has been updated, as has the standalone download.

The kei car body has been updated with an additional variant.
