could there be more than one of these? looking around the net there's two different cammo patterns and details plus three different licence plates. you've got to admire the level of detail and the 'vision' to turn a citroen pluriel into a schwimmwagen! do ya think it floats?

Let's drive it into a lake and see what happens.
A deep lake.

Wooden it be nice?
Check out those seats... errr... chairs.
I know a fiberglass buggy probably isn't the best thing in an accident, but I don't think I'd also want to be impaled by chair spindles at the same time. |
Bringing this back from the past... not my cup of tea at all but I am not sure it belongs in this thread. It is very very nicely done!

I really hope it's on an MG chassis! Like the reverse of a VW-based MG kit car. |
The MG kit cars had you sitting in the back seat pretty much like that. Gonna tell ya, if you never drove one of those, its REALLY weird.
