Trade Me Find: The Toreti

This weeks Trade Me find is an incredibly unique and one of a kind vehicle that I have never seen or heard of, The Toreti kit car.

As soon as I looked under "Specialist Cars" on Trade Me this marvellous creation appeared at the top of the list and I couldn't refuse clicking on the link.

This car is an interesting looking vehicle that appears to have been painstakingly crafted by hand out of fibreglass. Not surprisingly, when I googled the car's name there was no information on it at all which hints to it being a one off special.

The Toreti comes as a body only and the lucky buyer will have to use their own Volkswagen Beetle chassis and drive train plus their own interior. By the looks of it, you could possibly fit a Mazda Rotary engine in the back instead of the Volkswagen flat four and make an interesting custom out of it.

The interior of the car looks quite sporty and features a lot of aftermarket gauges, sports steering wheel and a Hurst style shifter and looks good in black.

At the back are twin exit exhausts with some very familiar rear tail lights that are scavenged off an R32 Skyline coupe.

Overall, the Toreti is a perfect vehicle for someone who wants to drive something that is quite a lot different to everything else that is on the road. The car is currently at a bid of $225 at the time of writing with the reserve met and is located in Lower Hutt.
