Rover Coupe revisited
A little while ago I had a go at turning my '75 into a coupe. It looked okay, but the roof line was all wrong so it looked more like a 2 door saloon .
Any how, today I was looking at some photos I took earlier in the year, and in one of them, I spotted a very nice Bentley that had a roof that just might fit with a little bit of tweaking. Looks a little better than my earlier effort . Looking forward to seeing Gerry's one at the NEC on Friday - can't wait to see the real thing. Cliff

Like that Cliff .
Hopefully if all goes well I'll be meeting up with Gerry again at the NEC on Saturday. Jim |

Tomorrows little treat: Off to Dunsfold to watch Top Gear being filmed. My brother managed to get a couple of tickets, so he's driving us up in his MG B . Cliff

I should also have said: Whilst I had the roof off the '75, I thought I'd take her out for a spin .

I just love the “work” you do on your cars.
It’s an art. I often wondered what Chip Foose could have done with the real thing. |

Beutiful.
Could your skills stretch to a pic of a 75 coupe with a MK2 front end? Preferably in Tempest grey |

An interesting day, with a LOT of standing around. My back was in agony by the end . Worth going though. They filmed an entire episode which will be the series opener for later in the year featuring an American actor "John Marsden" who I've never heard of . They also filmed a guest segment with Matt Baker for inclusion in another episode already filmed.
