This may take a while to get going, but I do now have a start.

I have always fancied a Ventora, I just love the coke bottle styling of these FDs but could never find one at the right price or condition.

I also rather like the Supernatural Impala, again coke bottle but with that V8 burble :) Shame it's the size of small aircraft carrier, but I do love the look of it.

So when this came up on ebay, I had to make a bid, and now it's mine :shock:

The idea is, Rover V8 (I have a spare one hence the decision), ZF4HP24H auto (I know for one of those), then paint it black and chrome up those alloys (Rover SD1) and add a few more shiny bits.

Hey presto, Supernatural car with a nice chunk of British reserve and a nice burbly V8.
