A new toy - sure to generate some discussion
Ok, been sniffing around this one for a long time but it's come off. I am the 'proud' owner of a Wood and Pickett RR convertible.

My mate said 'it's beautiful in its ugliness' and probably summed her up. 4 owners from new. Converted on delivery and dry stored. Lovely condition. 12 months ticket and needs preserving rather than restoring. Interior is lovely. Its one of the first 500 EFI 3.5's off the line.

One for high days and holidays only Embarassed

And discuss

Roof up = Big Cry

Roof down = Thumbs Up

Did the plate come with it?

Would agree with your mate 'it's beautiful in its ugliness

But then, can not seen many of them about,, pic with the top down may improve the look ???? California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Love the Range Rover Thumbs Up Thumbs Up , but it will probably look better with the roof down!

Will get the roof down and show her off once its home. Getting a misfire sorted and replacing the brake master cylinder at the moment.

Must have an image change

What a fantastic vehicle. I'd bet you could count on one hand the number of those that still exist.

More pictures please Smile Darren
