A Genuine Carbon Copy:
Welcome back to the days of no fuss Happy Motoring.
Ah, the heady carefree days of driving the quiet highways and byways - wind in your hair and lovely young lady by your side.
Climb in the driver's seat of this absolute gem, lovingly restored with original wire wheels from a few rusting pixels discovered languishing in an old outhouse, and regain your lost youth (when you had hair to blow in the wind - in the case of our older male drivers only, I hasten to add), or alternatively, experience what your parents enjoyed and had to give up when you came along and made their owning a two seater totally impractical due to the impossibility of fitting a pram in the back.
The gutsy 1296 cc litre leaded petrol engine utilises the DT vehicle script and the additional scripting provides a large range of colour options. Touch the handbrake, gearstick or head/sidelights and you will be presented with options to change colour , protect yourself from inclement weather, and even drive at night!
CONTROLS
Up arrow - Forward
Down arrow - reverse

Touch the doors to open/close for easier access.
Channel 911 is for additional commands.
Type /911 in Local Chat followed by:
i to start the engine sound;
s to stop the engine sound;
h for the horn;
r to rev the engine
Note: Your AO may clash with the driver/passenger anim so I suggest you deactivate it on getting into the car.
My third commercial effort in SL and a project still given as much loving care and attention as the previous two and also as much as I could devote to the RL version. It will grace your driveway and turn heads when you take it out on the open road.
I hope you like it. Its stablemates, Carbon Copy MGB, Carbon Copy Sprite and Carbon Copy Midget are also available.
I am presently selling from home until I get showroom arrangements in place so if you want to take a look at this fine replica in-world drop by and see it on my driveway at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fettle/5/17/21

I simply adore this baby.It makes a strong statement in a sea full of muscle cars.As a buyer reviewed before me, the only minuses if I an even call them that way are the licence plate which has to either go or to be customized and the steering wheel that must have a resize script for the hands to reach properly towards it.But other than these, I highly recommend the car, it's a piece of art, virtualy-wise.
My RL car from my student days, great to drive it again.
This is one of the best cars I've ever seen in SL for attention to RL detail: carbon copy is right! This was my RL car when I was a student and it is great to drive it again. It really looks just like the real thing and I even manged to find a dark blue to match my RL one from 25 years ago.
It handles well too and I tried it at a track and down some long Linden roads in mainland.
Love it, 5 stars PLUS and finding it has totally made my day. Now, Carbon, how about trying my current car, the MGF 1.8 VVC 75th Anniversary Edition?

This car looks great and is a perfect model of the classical british roadster. Has the typical handling, easy to drive. A real eyecatcher!
Wishlist: Seat adjustment (my arms are a bit too short), and free editing of the license plate.
[edit:] from 4 to 5 stars because of customer service
