Won't be the first one - there's an oft-photographed one that hangs around the London area. Though it might be the Rolls-Royce variant.

No doubt there are others, hard to find something new to do these days..........

There's a guy who has converted a Rover 75 into a 2 door coupe to mimic the one that was designed by Rover but was never put into production. The original concept vehicles now belong to the Chinese.

There's another chap who made a 2-door Mk1 Cortina coupe along the lines of a factory prototype, I was reading about it in an old magazine the other day.

In the late 1980s the basic Lancia Delta was a pretty slow seller in the UK, so Lancia UK tried enhancing the image by converting a number of Deltas and Prismas. I forget who did the actual conversion - it was the same company that did the Skoda cabriolet; there were twelve Deltas and I think five Prismas that went under the knife. This was the one I owned in the early 1990s (sadly I doesn't seem to have survived):

That's an interesting conversion - shades of Mk1 Golf Cabriolet from the rear view.
