Cheers, it's a short walk from my stepdaughter's place in Montpellier so I will take a stroll when I'm there next.

Someone just posted on the Loltus forum as they are looking at purchasing this car.

Which lead to a sharing of this vid.

This is my new most hated mod..... we really need a vomit emoji :(

You're just jealous.

Although the shit thing about these retrofit doors is you still have to open them normally anyway before starting to lift so it's just unnecessary additional process to get in :lol:

Forgot to post that I spotted this very car last week on the M6: https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/ ... way-8EmpB8

A Bentley Mulsanne estate in a rather sudden colour combination.

Image

Not sure if it was just the paint job but it looked somewhat of a lash-up on the road. The front bumper looks misaligned in that photo but the rear looks pretty bad in the flesh. Like someone has taken an ex-hearse and turned it into an ice-cream van.

[Edit] Should have googled Coway before posting that because it turns out they are coachbuilders of hearses :lol: They look better integrated than this estate though: https://coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25312

I think I've seen that one on the ferry to Le Mans last year. Also saw a Rolls version at FOTU last week!

There must a story about the colour as no-one would ever spend a fortune commissioning a car like that and go yes it has to be Mustard over Claret!

Its like something from Balamory :lol:

Good for bike transport but the tailgate must get filthy from spray in wet weather and no wiper either, so I'm out

I've not been to Cars on Toast but if you're going again, let me know and I'll pop along. Not too far from me.

Chris, I had assumed from the low mileage in that advert that it wasn't much used before sale but clearly it did do some trips. A fun thing if not a colour scheme I'd want. Other estate conversions seem to have rather better integrated rear side windows.
