Why? It's hideous.

[scorcher]

That’s one too many

[underwhelmist]

It's even more hideous from behind...

[Wheel Turned Out]

Good lord why.

[Little Pete]

With any luck it will remain one of a kind.

I think that featured in the barge thread in 2021. I've seen it on PH before.

Pretty sure it's been on the badly modified thread too.

Walked past it most days when it was parked there, ugly thing!

Was under a cover list time I see it, best thing for it!

It’s actually the 1990 Bradford Motorshow Daimler landaulet prototype.
An early Callum design created during his degree studies - he later said he’d based the coachwork modifications on an 8 yard builders skip, with the hood following the lines of an abandoned festival tent he found sticking out of a wheelie bin.

One of a kind you say?

I can’t for the life of me imagine why.

[Ambleton]

Grim. It's not even cheap. If it was sub 1k then there's some value in parts, the interior looks in good nick, but as a vehicle to me, well lets just say its better as parts.

Is that where Porsche got the idea for the roof on that weird Boxster Spyder thing they made?

[HTP99]

I bet the scuttle shake on that thing is horrendous.

[paradigital]

Rear visibility looks to be about on-par with the current Mini.

[vikingaero]

Ah, yes, the Jaguar XJ Tarpaulin.

Thing that niggles me ois the black moulding that runs on top of the doors.

Normally that’s the biggest problem with DIY convertibles. But in this case, not even close to the biggest problem.

PS Kudos to the vendor for making the effort to use such a glamorous photo location. Struggling to place it though, somewhere on the Amalfi Coast maybe?

Hopefully not as bad as you think as they have put 1 new shock absorber on the front, that should ensure it only twists one way.
