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:

I love that the dude doing the demo smacks into the door as he gets 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.

the maroon/brown 911 actually stands out in that group as my favourite! The stance looks perfect!

Yes that was nice - clearly a backdate but not a singer as '83 so 911 SC based seemingly.

Still think I'd take the CGT! First one I've seen not in a showroom since I saw a brand new one parked up in Beverley when I was 17.

The Carrera GT is this one by the way 8-)

I’d take the CGT or 458 G!

That picture says a lot. The new Ferrari looks pretty awful while that old Dino is utterly lovely.

When I first moved to London in 1995, I used to walk home to my flat in Wimbledon past a Dino which was clearly someone's everyday car then.
