I have been playing with the car design that I originally posted back in November 2016,
this is the original link and how the car evolved.

So I was just trying out some variations and started off trying to pimp the wheels up a little.
Doing the tulip apple twist did not work with the 3 pinch twists. It did not sit in the tyre.

The front tyre had a 160 around it and was too small and narrow, the rear was a 260.
The tyres are just wrapped around the pinch twists but the lower section of tyre is to thin like this.

I then made another car and added to the front to make it longer and to try a more sporty look.

I then tried to make the car look a little more sporty with stripes on the bonnet
and some chrome added as well.

I then had a go at upsizing the car I posted onto model of the month for September, this is the link,
https://www.balloonchat.co.uk/model-of-the-month/september-model-of-the-month-(car)/
There is an extra 260 around all four wheel arches and an extra row below the doors.
The tyres on the wheel were 350's as well.

I then made the Yellow car with one side more smooth flowing with the wheel arches and
the other side a little more on the squarer side with more attachment points as well.
And tried different style wheels.

I added to the front right side of the car to make a smoother look to the chunkier side.

Both sides, one with a smoother look the other more boxy and then three cars together.

I then made the car in Green,
no idea why but the colours work well together and added an exhaust and spoiler.

I then made a more Morgan Sports car type design, the first picture is with no guards covering the wheels.
Then with mudguards and a running board.

I changed the rear wheel for a 350 but it was to big.
I also added a lower section of the side running board but was not keen on that either.

I had a go at re creating the Yellow Morgan like car yesterday with mainly 260's.
The front was a little too bulky at first, still needs a little work but getting there.
