So it has no roof (& the one with a roof looks just great), & no mention of what strengthening has been done (but what looks like two girders stuck on the sills).
Yup, sounds like it "could easily be put back on the road", & wouldn't be hideous at all.

ummm...cabby conversion done by aftermarket firms never look right it hink, and the hoods nearly always look cheap and tacky, letting thr rest of the car down.
id just get a "regular" coupe if i had the dollar.

So, spiel apart, how much does he want for this "Superb car"? (With no fuel pump, and RSJs tacked onto the sills - note that he is a builder by trade, so probably has a cheap stock of RSJs to graft onto numerous rusting turds, to then pass off as priceless exotica...)

I know someone who bought one of these brand spanking new.
He actually asked the salesman, " do you do a four door coupe"

how much acid do you have to do to make chopping the roof off an 8-series seems like a good idea!!!

Does this have anything to do with your lifelong 850 fetish?
Can't blame you if it does
