Unique but not quite what it seems.

Stylish, but surely the modifications make it almost worthless?

Sadly even without the modifications it's almost worthless; both the Meadows engine and the Brockhouse transmission were lemons and would need huge time and development (and therefore money!) to make them work properly.

Certainly different, there's a superb Black Prince that occasionally appears at local shows. It has a very rakish saloon body though, and looks very smart indeed. I'm not sure about this shooting-break though, perhaps in a different colour it'd look better? The mechanical conversions would put me off a bit though.
