Here’s an even weirder one!

Someone has clearly spent a lot of time and effort on this, but only done a 'nearly an eleven' shape!

Not a bad effort. Alloy body etc. takes some skill, but why not make the shapes more like the original? The chassis welding looks a bit agricultural, but the Eleven design cues are there. Stick a WSC XI front on it, and you’ll be mostly sorted. I’d say 15k. Stick a different from on, and a Climax in it, and I think you'd be nearer to £30k.

There's certainly some skillful work there in creating the bodywork, but it also shows how easily an attractive shape can be 'uglified' with a few minor contour changes.
