What i saw on Sunday

[willysjeep]

Went for a drive on Sunday to the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.

Saw this gorgeous piece of machinery......... Homemade i think, but look at the straight classic lines and the flow of elegance. :D:D:D

Rover P6 COnvertible.
1965 ROVER P6 CONVERTIBLE - Motorbase (http://www.motorbase.com/auctionlot/by-id/1464397872/)
Not sure if more were officially made or if this was a SA version or a recent chop job. EIther way nice :)

That, I want. We had a P6 when I was a lad, until some $%$#& ignored a stop sign...

As far as i'm aware the P6 was never sold as a convertible but a prototype was made under commission of Rover , if i can find where i read it i will edit my post with the link. :)

Didn't take too long to find something along the same lines , this is not my original source tho. Rover P6 Convertible article (http://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/b-1965-rover-p6-convertible-b-1-c-3f8g5wo0ba)

Reading at the bottom of the article the company Graber have been known to convert the odd P6 so it could be one of their making perhaps.

I think its a chopped car. The pix on Motorbase show a 2door and there is a softtop on the back. On this car was no roof and a 4door :confused:

It looks great, but it has the slight akwardness of, say, a DS cabrio.
btw Does it say V6 or V8 on the grille?

V8. It has the 3.5 litre Rover V8. The P6 never had any V6.

And the DS Dècapotable is possibly the coolest car ever.

I'm tempted to agree.
I just saw a coople of pictures on a website an the car is gorgeous.
But I'm suspicious since my Dad had one when i was a kid.

Citroën DS 21 Decapotable (http://www.angelfire.com/film/auto_photo_gallery/CITROEN_DS_21_Decapotable/citroen_ds_21_decapotable.htm)

Good information and pics.

I'm definitely fond of the styling, and the V8:D Also, chalk it up to the exclusive list of 4-door droptops!

That Ds is nice with the curved body shape........the Rover impress me more with the straight and narrow lines,almost like a project,never to be developed:D:D:D
