What on earth's going on with the boot lid?

Difficult to significantly alter such a known vehicle and make it pretty, even the very well made Crayford conversions didn't all look particularly pleasing, Rover P6 estate looked very odd.

No i don't get the boot or the shoulder wings its sprouted either.

I suspect the enlarged boot lid houses the hood when retracted?

I think it looks good.

Did anyone see the rolls Royce 'enhancement' on the discovery channel show fast and loud?

Its the most recent episode and available on the sky go app

Never seen a 4 door convertable! I have always been told it is not possible as the body will be to weak or it would need strengthening to a point the car wouuld be to heavy?

Yes I did see it.

Just awful - turned a 'gentlemans carriage' into a ' vulgarians conveyance'. Or chavved it to the max if you like.

About the only time I didn't like Gas Monkey's work.

Ha, that's funny. I bet the scuttle shakes like an out-of-balance washing machine on rough roads.

'Beleaved to be the only one in Britain' indeed.

The many variations of the word "tonneau" in convertible adverts never ceases to amaze me. I saw an MX5 ad the other day for a car complete with "tourniquet cover"

I think it looks awful!!

I think the fact the boot is open in the pictures makes it look like there's some weird superstructure on the rear end, whereas I don't think there really is.

Doing away with those unreliable old electric windows in favour of vinyl panels is a unique touch, for sure.

Groaver, thats hideous, a timeless once elegant car destroyed, the bloke should be charged with several dozen offences and barred from owning a proper car for the rest of his natural.

Chavtastic tasteless tat.

Think it sold for 17,000 dollars, quite a lot for a 81 silver spur.

The episode did make me laugh as the american mechanics where stumped by the complexity of the rolls Royce braking system.

Thanks a bundle Trilogy, me eyes are only just recovering from last nights apparitions and this isn't helping.

Not to say i don't admire the work thats gone into it, but why, and i'm staggered that one would be worth more that its scrap weight when done, but people are strange, they're now paying VW camper money (more weirdness) for rusting mk1 and 2 Escort hulks, weird stuff this ''scene'' fad.

Me jealous, not a bit of it:-), only about 18 years ago i more or less gave away a Ziebarted Escort mk 1 estate with hardly a spec of rust on it....aarrrggghhh.
