Great minds think alike! Bow down

The original post obviously isn't but the latter two are genuine Twisted... aren't they? Or am I missing a joke? Whistle James

I'd say only the last is the genuine Twisted retro

The first one is clearly not and says so.

The second one - as 5 pot said - is just a copy of this. By using genuine Twisted wheels and a sticker the seller - who carefully says "built with Twisted parts" as opposed to "Built by Twisted" - hopes to catch the unwary... 110 UW - '15 2.2

datcullen exactly that - apart from both having a set of wheels painted there is nothing else from twisted that I can see. The only one is the old promotional shot on the beach.

I went to twisted's open day as I live not very far away and if you saw a fully built Twisted, it would be fairly obvious. To Greeni and Ian, its the little tell tale signs but mainly none of the parts are the same as what they use apart from the wheels. Painted cross members, bad automatic conversions, non branded steering guards etc

I sent the link to twisted and they came back saying they had asked Penine autos to change the description as it wasn't a Twisted and was just fake stickers.

Anyway still cool for the money Thumbs Up

Rolling with laughter pigs would fly first Greeni! Only on fully built cars that get a certain level! Still though, their workmanship and product is the best out there in my opinion!

I do fancy a soft top for summer!
