First of all it's a kit car. So if U can't drive? Than don't drive any kit car and stick to a Volvo better yet if u can't drive stick to driving a tank! I have a Bradley GT1. Rolling it is almost impossible also. Oh and usually these kits will get up to 60 mpg with stock engines. 24-30 mpg with 350hp Dino fuel injection 6 speed. So roughly do to weight and hp ratio. U will leave a vet in the dust. I normally gave corvettes a head start and left the gate without even scratching the tires.
Can anyone tell me the name of the model Sterling made before the Nova? It was based on the Beetle just like the Nova, and it was a totally different design ( i.e. not a Nova variant, like the Cimbria, Eagle ect.). Many thanks for any response.
dear michaelnight07, you are retarded as hell. first off its not the fiberglass rubbing together, its the weather stripping/seals. notice it shifts down into place. and second you dont bondo fiberglass. dumbass.
I use to own one. Wish I had never gotten rid of it. As far as rolling over and not getting out mine had break away hinges on the window. But the interior is not very roomy so you wont sevive the role anyway. Rain never gave me a problem. Got lots of looks. I'd give my right arm for another one. As for the person that said it was ugly. Thats called jealousy.
@griffeth1224 Hey mate what did it drive like? I've never driven one but am interested in buying a sterling sometime. How does it handle, how the ride and how is the wind noise while driving?
It's very difficult to roll over this car b'cos it's centre of gravity is very near the ground all the times;;;; unless any idiot rolls it over with a forklift or a crane........
Can anyone tell me if Concordia University in Montreal had something to do with this ?
I had a poster on my wall about 20 years ago and I remember it being very similar to this, and it was a CU design study from their engineering dep't. if I can recall. Thanks.
Questo modello si chiama PUMA GTV. E' una Kit Car che veniva assemblata in Italia.a Roma.da un certo Adriano Gatto.Viene usata in diversi Film come "Mani di velluto" con Adriano Celentano.E' interamente in Vetroresina. monta solitamente il motore della storica Alfa Sud o del vecchio Maggiolone. Non è un Auto veloce..Stupenda ugualmente! La PUMA GTV si riesce a trovare in Italia sui 12/15000Euro!CIAO!
La stessa Azienda Romana costruiva manualmente anke la famosa Dumbaghi di Bud Spancer e Terence Hill. sempre con il motore del vecchio maggiolone!CIAO!
that was my initial response too, how the heck do you get out if you roll it over?..answer: you cant, youre screwed, I guess you gotta take your chances to drive it..
Also, this car looks like its saying " evening ma'am" with its hat.
@earthstick The trick to that is not to drive like an idiot. The only people who roll over cars are the people who drive like they are the only people on the road.
Must get hot in that thing? Doesn't look like the windows roll down? Pay a toll, or go through the Drive through and everyone would be pissed because you have to retract your roof, and get out of the car.. LOL
No, there is venting for the cockpit. Also, there can be ac units as well. Paying a toll one simply raises the roof. mine goes up in 7 seconds and retracts in the same amount of time.
My uncle used to have one of these! As an 8 year old I thought it was the coolest thing ever but with it's 1.3 VW engine it was a bit shit really :)
