Some of you may remember the sale of a magenta purple P6 on ebay a few years ago. There were a couple of posts about it at the time. I bought the car and have been working hard on it since. It was in pretty good condition all in all but looked dreadful with a bad taste boy racer theme (IMHO!). I had a good idea how I wanted it to look - pretty much the opposite of how it was! I wanted it to be very understated and pure, more so than the early S1 cars. The pictures at the link below show how it looks now, obviously with a bit more work still to be done. I hope to get some use from it this summer. Its been a labour of love but was entirely stripped bar the dash top and wiring. I've painted it myself and it really is a nut and bolt rebuild/restoration, all done myself but still costing a fortune in parts! I restored 3 V8s before this one and a 2000TC so know the cars pretty well. I will make sure that the interior is finished to as high a standard as if it's poorly done it could look like a dreadful lash up! As for a hood, it hasn't got one - yet! I've seen a few P6 convertibles on Google, some of which are spoilt by their hoods. I will get a bit of use from it without a roof (if we actually get a dry day!) and look into having a bespoke hood made. Let me know what you think of it.
