Like that Ranchero but needs bigger tubs. Coincidentally my recent most favourite insta account is one that just posts Pro Street cars.

That's been for sale for ages. Or is up for sale again. Either.

I remembered a piece about it (possibly your link above) but didn’t remember it was for sale. It’s simultaneously horrific and cool. Coorific?

Yeah, I love the fact someone was mental enough to build it (and think that 499 other people would want one too), but zero desire to own it.

From that link:

Gwynn had hoped to build 500 of his “Gwynn Prix” luxo-cruisers, but this was the only one he ever made. Chalk that up to the asking price of $50,000 in 1973. That was more than 10 times the price of the 1973 Grand Prix it used as a foundation, and adjusted for inflation that’s more than $290,000 today.

$290k. Crazy. Nobody would pay that to put a ridiculous bodykit on a car nowadays.

Huh ? Mansory are on the phone ?

I ordered some of this and was going to post a PSA because it's a great price then realised it's BMW LL98 not LL04 and had a panic.

But it seems the biggest difference between LL98 & LL04 is low SAPS to make it compatible with DPFs. Most of my cars don't have a DPF so I'm going to use it anyway.

+1. I think the Hagerty piece was from one of the previous times it was up for sale. Istr it was posted on here before '21.
Horrificool?

Yup It might suit being a Rover better, low rev lazy happiness rather than high(er) rev disappointment.

I can't remember who was talking a small van for t' mrs (carlos?), Sunday Jumper suggested a Vito but that's too big so from the onvs suggestion is; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Ben ... 6016.l4276

Who’s spending a £150k on this carbuncle.

It isn't completely horrible, but looks a bit off from every angle.

It just looks really cheap and tacky. The grill, wheels, rear lights and trim. The rear lights must be off a bus but I can't place it!

Yeah, most probably just the generic hella lights used everywhere, don’t do anything for me, would have been better doing something retro styled and not just a wonky weirdly proportioned copy of an existing one.

20s as standard thank you ( my winter set are 19s ) I wouldn’t mind something different, but haven’t really liked any aftermarket wheels I’ve seen on them.
