    ducks garden mk1 is it hideous or not........

    so its quite cheap, very low mileage and a fresh import, well been sat in a garage for 5 years before being put on the road very recently.

    do we like it? im unsure the rear end is very nice im thinking replace the front end with a decent bumper and you have the basis for a nice car??

    im really torn on this car as it could be made good

    The lines are just, all wrong! The early Miatas were all about round lines (bar of soap). This thing had hard squared flairs circa 80's Audi Quattro. Then there's the headlight fiasco... KILL IT WITH FIRE!

    I think the majority here have already made fun of this car on an earlier thread. I'm sure the body kit was not cheap and it is unique but it just seems out of date. That being said, to each his or her own. It is unique and given some attention in the right hands, attitudes could change. If you hold onto it long enough, the style is likely to come back in favor.

    If you think you can make it good, I'm sure it would make for a good thread on here with a lot of followers.

    I'm all for unique parts, but unique doesn't necessarily mean awesome. In this case that's definitely true IMO. It appears to be cleanly executed. It's just dated. Maybe in 20 years this will be the "retro style" though. Hold up, I just clicked the link and read that the steering wheel is made of glass...

    It's a lot fugly actually, but hooligan says he is torn so I was thinking maybe he sees something that the rest of us don't and that his ultimate vision might convert a few of us into believers. I can be annoyingly optimistic at times.

    So ducksgarden does to Japanese cars what RWB does for Porsche. Noted.

    :throwup:

    As Vegard says it's not a ducks garden kit. The ebay ad says BECKHAM, which is also what these Japanese sources say. Being the only two I can find calling it that though, I'm still not confident on the manufacturer.
