Yep very nice, but I like the P6 anyway, have had 2 and was recently looking.  Not really into the custom scene but I often and a dream of a P6 with Bubble arches on and appropriate wheels and tyres, in B.R. Green ofcourse...... :y :y :y

 :y  But a re-spray would be high on the list of "must do".  In fact, until the colour was changed, it wouldn't see daylight.

Making a two door car from a 4 door in this way is utterly ridiculous, and looks naff...
Ideally, half the back doors should have been used to create bigger front doors, plus all necessary rework to the rear side panels...
Of course this would be extremely expensive and hard work, but not impossible...

Just buy a two door convertible in the first place, just wouldnt be a Rover...

I rather like the wheel on the boot on a P6, but having looked at this again, on this occasion I think you might be right...... I love the colour.... :y :y

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!

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.
