A bit sad eh lads? Whos going to fork out £9k on that? Will be slow as f**k cos of all the weight.
Whats the point? How would you maintain all the gizzmos? You couldnt even show it very well as i expect stuff like that will be hidden away underneath.
I know if i had that much cash i wouldnt be spending it all on that.
One could replace ones engine, gearbox etc twice over for that price!
It is Astor Grey tho! I wonder if he want to sell me his bonnet??

Depends on how popular you are lol.
It would have cost an absolute fortune to have all that done

I did a search on the internet on the name given as the 'converters' and it linked to a firm in Birmingham who obviously specialise in tuning and modifying cars. Any members in that area who might like to call in and ask who they did the job for? Can't imagine it is one they would forget quickly!.

Being the saddo I am, I asked the guy and got this nice reply:
"! am selling this on behalf of my friend who has a chauffer company and he converted it into a bullet/bomb proof car because a lot of his clients, who are very well off, kept on requesting for a bullet proof car. so, he converted the Ford Scorpio into one, because at the time it was practical to do it to this car. please let me know if i can be of any more help to you"
