Been a bit quiet in Mantis-land so thought I'd share the results of one of my meanderings around the web
which seem to have uncovered two references to this (to me) unknown car - has anyone else heard about it? The bodywork has had a serious amount of tweaking by
the look of it. Back end looks a bit rough, but I actually rather like the smoothed rolling wheel arches. Bonnet is bulge free too - obviously the Cossie is
somewhat less high without the Cobra's quad cam layout, and it all looks like quite a nice fit in there. Front end looks a bit less cross eyed too, even if
the grill looks like a Sprite's more malevolent teenage son with an Asbo.

The idea of the two Costins together in the one car's name is quite neat - does anyone know anything about this car, or if anyone else has tried to fit a
Cossie Turbo into one?
I indulge in the odd mega-trawl of the net for Mantis related material &
have never come across this. I rather like the normal bonnet bulge however, so not so taken with the smoothed off version (although it's interesting to
see).
Too quiet! I could post that I got
pulled over on the M6 by the Police on Saturday for no MOT (swiftly gained on Monday morning I hasten to add) but no-one wants to hear that do they.
