Sorry , but there is something that is just "so wrong" with this car , it offends me even more than the Flaminia with the Flavia front end and stick on wood ......

Maybe I shouldn't have had that last glass of wine, I might have kept quiet !

I agree it doesn't look right, and IMHO the colour doesn't suit it at all.
Bit different to the B24 Spider that won the Concourse at the Festival of Speed.

The Louvres on the bonnet?

The bonnet slots are a reasonable idea to allow hot air to escape, I was considering putting some on my own car.
The wheels don't really suit in my opinion, a bit 'Terry Thomas' !!
But the colour !!!  I never thought there would be a way to make an Aurelia look un-appealing, but that colour has managed to do it perfectly.

David,
The spotlights could well be original actually. I have seen a couple of B24S Convertibles which were fitted with these from new.
Does anybody know the asking price for this car?
The dealer usually seems to be on the ambitious side of reality to me but he turns his Aurelia stock over pretty quickly and B24S Convertibles are in demand.

"One of three" I take it the "special hood" refers to the bonnet. Richard

OK even if you lot don't want it I would be prepared to take it on.

Put a Triumph Stag badge on the bonnet and bask in the admiration at my local show.
