Fancy a Bugatti Veyron? Well, so did Mike Duke from Florida. He didn't let the £1 million list price and the fact that production is stopping shortly put him off, instead he built his own replica from a £1,000 Ford banger.
With the new body and re-styled interior, I think this Ford Cougar does a passable impression of the Veyron. Sadly, the Cougar's standard 2.5-litre V6 top speed of 140mph is some way short of the Bugatti's 253mph.
Now being sold by Mike for a rather hefty £54,000, it could just be the car for those who want the looks of the multi-million pound original without the repair costs and insurance.
