Two door saloon mondeo, ditto all the front drive cavs. And no the calibra doesn't count. As mentioned before, belmonts and orions in two door format would be ace. I've always had a thing for the idea of a two door 190 too. Here's a couple more that I shopped ages ago.     Lets see your 'shops, prototypes and home made creations. |

Hey Mark just check out the range of cars in Brazil, they got all kinds of strange vehicle configurations like you mention. They seem to love 2-door notchbacks!

Sapphire 2 door please.. I know there is/was one knocking about - looks great.
Tried to find a pic but cant, was either black or dark blue? I think the owner used to be on Turbosport, possibly called Pete?
Cheers, Greg

 This is excellent, I knew about the convertibles but never realised that there were some coupes as well. Whats the story? Rover did well with the 800 coupe, they are one on my list, but how cool would an equivalent booted SD1 have been, never mind a proper P5 or a P6 Just remembered this as well,  Nice one nightmares, I thought a few pickup conversions would come out of the wood work, I'd completely forgotten your van. |

I was dribbling all over that Jag at the Motorshow factory custom proto chopped out a 4dr iirc, totally would have sold surely.  Loving that Corrado cab photoshop too. Want! And yep, a chap did turn sapphs into 2 doors using xr4i doors and pillars, almost works, the doors are different shape but yeah great effort What about chopping a calibra into a cav? Oh and 2 dr Asconas, sexy! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

its the Opel rekord, comes in 2 door form, its not a coupe its a 2 door saloon, the manta came as a coupe,  Happens a lot these days, I dunno who started it, but just cos it has 2 doors and boot don't make it a coupe, needs a differnet shaped roof to be a coupe. See on my mercs the coupes rea pillar is further forwards the boot is longer and the roofline is lower. 2 door saloon  coupe  |

Thats a substantial pic of that manta popup! Yeah, I'd started using two door saloon and coupe interchangeably then. It should be two distinct styles. Big thumbs up for all the two door saloons out there. Have some more Ascona C action.   |
