There's a lot of old fashioned coachbuilding craftmanship still going strong there. I dread to think of the cost of the finished article!

I found a link to this on another forum and the guy mentioned the cost of the conversion was about the same cost as the original car, that puts them at around £140000 a time !
That is if they are based on the lower priced cars with fewer options

While I can appreciate the craftsmanship, the finished product is not very easy on the eyes.....

I don't suppose they will splash the cash on an upgraded sound system for the driving tunes!
