With a 27 litre Rolls Royce Meteor under the bonnet it'd be quite a lot to bite off and chew! I don't fancy the fuel bill much either! How many custom cars get their own Wikipedia entry? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_Merlin_alternative_uses#The_Beast
HotRodMatt Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 Alive and well in Spain these days, and I believe it still sees use.

HotRodMatt Posted March 6, 2020 Report Posted March 6, 2020 That's the mk2 version below rather than the mk1 in the above picture isn't it? Yep. Much better looking, in my opinion.

HotRodMatt Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Even if they still had to chop the roof, I'm sure something could have been done to sort the door top out?
