 Not quite the first. Anybody here remember Wynford Jones's "Shorty" as debuted at Bath rally 1993. Incidently, is "Shorty" still around?

It’s not that it’s short that leaves me speechless, it’s the way in which it’s been crudely hand crafted, zoom the image (click on it) and you’ll see what I mean as only the nose is from a genuine Schmitt.

It's plugly, but quite fun. Hope the mechanics are better then the bodywork!
