Pointless exercise - it still looks as good as a Z3.

Let's face it, most cars with a Rolls radiator on the front look rather awful, unless they were made prior to about 1940.

Definitely an NA MX5- The door handles are very distinctive (small silver finger operated ones)- The Z3 handles are just commonly shaped ones.

The windscreen/hood assembly is CLEARLY a Mk1 Mazda MX5.
I like how he put spoilers around the front of it to enhance the aerodynamic performance of the Silver Shadow radiator and lipped headlight clusters even more.
Here's a good-looking convertible Rolls, for anyone who needs to sleanse their palate after viewing that horror show:
I gave one of those (about that year/model - perhaps a bit older) a tow one day - he'd had a small problem with petrol feed and thought it was out of gas.Towed it about 15km with my diesel Safari - and it felt like I was towing a bus.As I pull in to a gas station, he's a bit slow on the brakes, and wraps my 8 tonne tow strop around a front wheel -twisted it around and around the front beam suspension a few times, shortening/winding up what was left of the strop so fast that it felt like the Safari hit a brick wall, and the 8t tow strop sheared.Oops I thought - that might have been expensive.Wrong though - completely unmarked.If that happened with a modern car, it would have ripped the car to pieces.

that mx5 would make a sweet rotary ute that'd likely be not too bad to drive if it were a little longer in the deck
