Volkswagen’s Golf GTI is in its seventh generation now, and to date three of these iterations have spawned slightly strange looking convertible versions. This is the very first, the Mark 1 Golf Cabriolet, lovingly nick-named the ‘picnic basket’ due to its rather ugly roll-over hoop. Still, it stopped your head coming off in a crash, which was quite a novel concept three decades ago.
Newcomer REGIS Michel is the builder behind this chunky Model Team re-creation of the ’80s icon, and you can see more of his topless model on MOCpages here.









This beautiful supercar by the previous TLCB bloggee is a truly exceptional replica of the late ’80s Ferrari. Underneath the exquisitely recreated bodywork sits a working engine and gearbox, and a full remote control drive system.
