Haha, just found that one as well! [ That car design website is fascinating stuff] Seems no-ones attempted it in real metal.....not impossible though.

Follow-up; I drove the car in question on Saturday afternoon. It is indeed a lot of metal for the money! Things that put me off this one were paintwork on bonnet,air-con in-op, and ultimately,the huge fuel- sucking engine. It drove well, gearbox really smooth, pulled well, very quiet at 70,......maybe i'm still thinking about it! Thanks for all your responses, Nigel. PS: has anyone heard of/seen an estate conversion on an S type?

Thanks Andy. No, it doesn't necessarily need to be a V8, this one just happened to suit my budget[995] and is convienient to view. I was initially looking at post 02 models, but i've now realised that the earlier ones are not really as poor as made out and a bit cheaper to tax which is a bit of a bonus..

Hi! New member here! I'm looking at one near Portsmouth tomorrow. First time S type wanna-be owner and i'm looking here for a list of things to be aware of when viewing and test driving. Cheers Nigel
