Sandie ◊ 2012-09-23 14:27	Just got this extra grab from the episode to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. And: The custom Rover SD1 style front end was offered by Wood & Pickett as part of their Sheer Rover line. Car is an '85 by the absence of front quarter lights.
mike962 ◊ 2012-09-23 14:30	is this rare ? factory supported or just aftermarket ? -- Last edit: 2012-09-23 14:30:54
Sandie ◊ 2012-09-23 14:36	Yes, there isn't another one like it on IMCDB. Wood & Pickett were aftermarket customisers of Range Rovers (and other cars such as Minis: http://www.dbmotorbrokers.com/view-car2.php?car_id=77 ) Wood & Pickett offered a range of modifications on Range Rovers: Link to "www.range-rover-classic.com" -- Last edit: 2012-09-23 14:37:03

G-MANN ◊ 2012-09-23 14:42	Sandie wrote there isn't another one like it on IMCDB. What about the one in How to Get Ahead in Advertising?
Sandie ◊ 2012-09-23 14:44	Not with this front end (it has standard headlights and a nearer to standard front grill) which is what I meant by 'not another one like it'. -- Last edit: 2012-09-23 14:45:58
-- ◊ 2012-09-23 15:01	I wonder why they did this conversion, were the default headlights not good enough?
G-MANN ◊ 2012-09-23 15:50	They probably just wanted to make it look different.
-- ◊ 2012-09-23 16:07	It probably is the bumper and not the headlights that serves a special purpose.
Sandie ◊ 2012-09-23 16:16	What I like most about this one is how the front is not colour matched to the rest of the Range Rover.
mike962 ◊ 2012-09-23 16:37	I wonder if the real Mexican police had this things , perhaps it was so for RAMMING purposes ? -- Last edit: 2012-09-23 16:37:18
