They need stringing up for doing that to a P6
There's a 2 door P5(B?) drop head coupe I've seen at Tatton etc that I'm sure has had the doors extended to the kind of size a 2 door would normally have ...... it looks the part.

It's as bad as the P5B Campervan that's knocking about.

Seeing the P5B reminds me of these...

Thanks for that great information! A very interesting read.  Apart from the P6 estates, I just loved the V8 saloons at the time, which Traffic Police used extensively, and often wished I could afford one, even with their faults, when driving my brand new Escort Mk1. :-* :-* :-* ;)

Ah, those were the days; you could do so much with carburetors and did!! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

No silly electric management system then.  You could have real fun, or give yourself severe frustration when getting the fuel and air mix settings wrong!! ;D ;D ;D ;)

I'd gladly have a standard P6B without the custom bits but that one is horrible!
A lot of P6s did have the spare wheel on the boot by the way!


True -- but dwarfed by the rear window and roofline -- this one is just too proud of the boot with no roof to set it off ---- if it was to stay there it would have to be set into the boot lid.

Now that is a good idea...... about 75% set in and a nice round painted cover over the rest..... :y with some chrome on ;) ;)
