Who built that, you'd need arms like a guerilla to reach the door from the driver's seat....

Most of these were built by Styling Garage (I think). I also think I've seen this car before but it wasn't this tidy last time I set eyes on it.

I used to see cars like this kicking about in Mayfair when I was doing my apprenticeship at the Connaught Hotel.
They all had Arabic plates on and it would've been 1984/85.

I had a good look over it at MB World, looked like the seats and trim had been painted white, the engine bay was to say the least a work in progress.

A whole bunch of people did these conversions including Gemballa and even Panther in the UK:

In that case it is the car I thought. When the current owner bought it he popped in to see me (this was some years ago) and I remember looking at the seats and back then it looked liked someone had painted them with some plimsoll whitening.

It looks like gloss house paint now

A lovely car ruined IMO. Thank goodness it's rare. :fail

No accounting for taste, I suppose. Not to mine.

I'm not a huge fan of aftermarket wheels, especially on an SEC as I think the Pentas are the best, but I quite like those.

Revert to normal doors, get rid of the "Saab" tail lights centre extension and with no integrated spoiler, a genuine white or cream leather interior and standard rear bumper - I think I'd quite like it.

Or a gorilla

You know when one looks and looks at a word and thinks is that correct? :fail
