I REALLY like that. Especially the boot and rear door handle mods. It looks really good in that silver too.

No MOT and the interior looks tired.Not many images and none of the under-bonnet etc. Probably a lot to do but I quite like the colour. I get the impression of a car that looks a lot better than it probably is.Be interesting to see if it sells. |

I didn't say I thought it was worth the money  It does look tired inside and even the description alludes to the fact it needs a fair bit of work inside which is usually not necssarily expensive but tme consuming to do. I like the smooth look of the boot in particular. Very Rollsesque. |

Really like that look, apart from those wheels (ugh!!). Not judging the interior, or the possible finish. Maybe leave the side chrome strips on.
Just looks good. Shame it would devalue against a more "original" example.

Is it just me or are those wheels horrible?.

Stunning  All that time spent? with no attention to the interior makes you wonder what else has lacked attention  I am with you Kev. |

Not a car I would buy unless it was very cheap but it shows what can be done styling wise and using modern paints and colours.
Bolt a set of Jensen GKN wheels on that and it would be lovely (on the outside.

Seen this the first time it was listed on ebay & now relisted due to time waster apparently: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161285065977#ht_611wt_922Now at 5k or best offer (with one offer so far) Nice in some ways but I tend to prefer them in standard guise. The wheels look horrible in my opinion. As far as I recall, it's an MOT requirement that the internal & external door handles work correctly & if this the case, the rear door handles would need to be refitted: DOORS (taken from MOT-UK website with no exclusions in terms of manufacture date) Both front doors must be capable of being opened from the inside and outside and all doors must latch securely. A rear door that cannot be opened from the outside using the relevant control is a new reason for failure. Doors must be easy to open and close – hinges, catches and pillars will be inspected. I'm sure the seller would get more interest if the car was MOT'd & I doubt if a 'split brake line' is the only thing wrong. |

Seems to a marmite car.
I like the look of it, love the colour and like the subtle mods, the wheels suit the look of the car in my opinion ( at least it doesn't have white walls ) yes the interior lets it down, but on the whole I think it is very nicely done, would I do it to mine............. No, but I do like the look of it.

Looking at the front, I couldn't figure out what was different, then I realised the front indicators were missing !

Amber bulbs in what were the side lights (wired up as indicators) and sidelights now in the headlights?

Nice subtle modifications. I particularly like the clean boot lid ( why not remove the handle and have a internal remote cable) I also like the clean look of the rear doors minus the handles. ( Some internal electric door locks would easily suffice) I don't see the point of removing the indicators and the wheels don't work for me. The colour works well.
