G-MANN ◊ 2008-06-21 00:27	Coupe? It has 4 doors.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-21 00:31	Yes, like /vehicle_82731-Rover-3-Litre-Coupe-P5-1964.html . Rover planned to make a two-door pillarless coupé (hardtop), but the structure wasn't rigid enough, so they used the coupé-shape with four doors and a B-pillar.

G-MANN ◊ 2008-06-21 01:15	This is the only view of the car, from what I can see the trim goes all the way across the side of the car, but I don't really know what to look for.
DynaMike ◊ 2008-06-21 01:19	In the link above you can see the side trim is reaching to the front wheel arch, whereas the sidetrim of the Mk.III goes all the way to the front, like /vehicle_101617-Rover-3-Litre-Coupe-P5-1966.html
