SuzanneH Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Don't like the front bumper but the rest is superb. Sue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfenlon Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I share your view Sue, looks a treat, but why do the spats on this one look really nice when on TS2 they don't seem to look right at all? No not right oribble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Come on, the chrome covers argue. Would look good painted silver all over. Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuzanneH Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Come on, the chrome covers argue. Would look good painted silver all over. Al. It's a matter of contrast. Wouldn't be so attractive all the same finish! Sue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hi Pete, have you seen TS2's spats since they were changed. The initial offering after its rebuild were not universally liked. I thnk they were then sorted and looked better. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sorry but I absolutely hate it, looks like a five year olds idea for a concept car! The bumper must have been a real design poser, not! "Here's a bit of stainless strip" " polish it up and stick on the front like a bumper" Without the "bumper" it might be acceptable to someone but the wheel trims are awful but I don't even like steel wheels on a sidescreen car so what do I know. Each to his own i suppose! Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Shame it wasnt painted all in one go as well. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR 2100 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 If ever there was a candidate for keying ! Bumper and wheel trims hideous. Ally tonneau has to be painted or brushed to match the stoneguards. Then, I may just forgive wheel spats on a 3A. Wonder what he did to the engine bay and trim? Second thoughts - I don't want to know. A Cali black plate, too. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Each to his own i suppose! Rod I love the wheel trims. Unfortunately the whole thing will remain a polishers/ show car as it is totally impractical for using as it should be used. But what do I know? I used to hate the Peerless but now I love it. Cars / styles can grow on you...!!! Sue Edited April 1, 2013 by SuzanneH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sue - You like the wheels trims? April Fool jokes end at midday. AlanR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 You have to admire the application and enthusiasm that has gone into creating this device. But in terms of taste and style . . . . ? Presumably it is in California ? Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneH Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sue - You like the wheels trims? April Fool jokes end at midday. AlanR I stand by my original post that apart from the bumper I love the styling of the car but it is impractical. Sue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I think the tonneau adds new meaning to "being head and shoulders" above the rest. In the event of an accident i think you might be quite literally head and shoulders above the rest, somewhat detached from preceedings and flying through the air. I am sure the french used something similar to this for giving the aristocrats a close haircut. mrs gillotine was it ?(spelling noted). Without the spats and stupid wheel trims, brainless bumper it could look quite nice, otherwise totally hideous. The colour suits the car. Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterdr Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Doesn't much appeal to me. However beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's somebody's private property, so they can do whatever they choose with it. Somebody has lavished a lot of care and attention on this vehicle. It looks as though it could be returned to original specs without too much bother - which might well happen when the current custodian passes it on to the next. Besides which how many of our own cars can truly be described as "original" ? Almost every TR owner has incorporated some mods/upgrades seen (or unseen) in my experience.
