Awesome car Mr Somersett!
I saw that in the classifieds and thought "I want that", but I didn't do anything as needed to spend money elsewhere (savings).
Then today my car blew up (diesel runaway). So I popped onto here to see if it was still available to find it gone to you :-)
so i'm a little peeved, but have good fun with it :-)

I'll throw a curve ball in here....you bought it as a daily to save the Cedric, why not leave as it is and save the money for the Cedric as well The Passat I've just bought could have a lowering job and shiny set of rims, but its staying stock to save the money for the Camper and the Beetle ;D

I don't know if it's the jewish racing gold that's making me say this but I'm seeing brown centred wheels with burberry plaid lips and a burberry headlining FTW.

Nice, in a really ugly way. I think some brown lace pattern stuff on the roof would look cool. and some steels, possibly red with whitewalls.

Well... everyone...
As far as modding this car goes - everythings either gotta be a) Free! or b) Cheap!
I like the idea of brown lacework on the roof, and I also like the potatochop of the black grille . Its unlikely to go lower as its the daily AND the 'sensible' car (although its not too sensible LOL).
If I can find some steelies cheap/free then I'd whack them on - after painting them some complimentary colour (anyone got a colour wheel for beige? Sure its partner is purple or something!!)

Has anyone mentioned the similarity of the front end to another R-R car yet?

I have to say, I really love this little thing. What a neat piece of machinery! It really does look like a Cherokee that's had something dropped on it, then rounded off a bit. Top purchase and a neat powertrain combo too........real retro looks with real daily usage capabilities & low running costs = win Means you can spend more on the Datsun!
