10 Expensive Rides With Parts Borrowed From Cheap Cars
Just because a car is ludicrously expensive, that doesn't mean all of its parts are uniquely milled from unobtanium. Occasionally, supercars borrow parts from much cheaper cars, and occasionally their unique parts look identical to those found on very ordinary motors!

This is good. When a car which goes 150+ mph uses the radio buttons and lights from cheap entry level cars, you know they are easy to use and most visible instead of fancy shenanigans!
Lol the wheelie bin!
That Corolla GT 3dr liftback is not a coupè!!!
The Lancia Stratos used the headlight from a Fiat X1/9
TVR S2 and Ford Escort
Jensen Interceptor with Fiat 127 tail lights
Lamborghini and Bell Plaza Gym uses the same rims
No. 9, which is the cheap one?
The GSXR600 and the XL125V have the same starter motor.
Suzuki GSXR600 starter motor £5 - £20 used, £50 new, highest new was £130
Honda Varadero 125 starter motor £70-£80, £130 new, highest new was £170
Current Corsa and corvette Same blinker stag, Bugatti EB 110 has the Blinker stag of a Fiat uno and the mirror controls from an old Corsa
