Sadly no MOT but i would imagine never rallied or raced

Says 2 door ..... must be a Coupe .........

Chop the roof off and turn it into a Aussie ute

[CHR15E]

Someone did that to one a while back.

Looked odd.

[rovercoup]

Because of the overall length I guess?

[CHR15E]

That and they had some crazy spoiler on it from memory.

Must be PIC of it about somewhere.

I think I recall seeing it up for sale on ebay last year parked up in an overgrown front garden. I think it may look ok if it was done properly like a ute rather than a p100 pick up. By that I mean a flowing line from the passenger bulkhead, bit like the buttress's on an XJs

[CHR15E]

Possibly, unfortunately in this country they're largely useless with our weather.

Plus I wouldn't trust the underneath based on the limo I had.

Nice in theory but in practice should be left a pipe dream I reckon?

It says in the listing it has ESP (Electronic Stability Program) - given its previous use shouldn't that be Extra Sensory Perception?

On a more practical note, it appears the rear bumper has been cut to make a very low opening door/load deck.

I've never understood why the coachbuilders seem to think that hearses need such high rooflines - I mean, it's not as if the passengers are going to be standing up at any point! If the rooflines were lower, they would make great 2-door estate cars.

I think it's so people can lay huge floral tributes on top of the coffins Richard but i do agree with what you're saying.

I did hear of someone who had a hearse as a private car and rigged a skeleton with red LED eyes to sit up when he put the brakes on for longer than a few seconds. Could be quiet amusing sat in traffic!
