• The head-turning vehicle took about three-and-a-half months to build.

A double-ended car owned by a septuagenarian mechanic from Indonesia has been ordered off the road, but he has not given up on the quirky creation just yet.Roni Gunawan built the "two-faced" car with the help of colleagues in Bandung, West Java province, by welding together the front halves of two orange Toyota Limos.

The head-turning vehicle - which took about three-and-a-half months to build - has two engines, two steering wheels and two sets of pedals.

Its dual features make it particularly easy to park, Gunawan told

Roni said he had always wanted to own a "two-faced" car. Roni's car is fully functional. He told that each end can be driven But the 71-year-old's dream has hit a serious speed bump: local authorities have ticketed him, saying he lacks the necessary permits for the modifications. Authorities claim that his vehicle violated road safety rules.

Despite the setback, Gunawan has vowed to get the vehicle roadworthy so it can see another day.

"I will not be making a second," he said.

"It's new in Indonesia - two faces, two machines."

He told local media that the three month process involved three welders, three painters and "several mechanics".

Indonesian's 'quirky creation' is a big draw.
