Wood has no place in a car - unless it's in the boot coming home from B&Q!

Bugger me, that's like logs have been jammed in between the window and door card

I saw some doorcards like that for sale on ebay about two weeks ago, that explains why, i thought they looked shit then....and my opinion hasn't changed.
Nice car though, i can see the appeal when it was new.
And i like the 90's style blade wheels on it in the RR pic

Im pretty sure all the Brooklands editions were Brooklands green like the Capri Brooklands, hence the name.

I think il ask/post up on RSOC - they should make sense of it

i seem to remember the wood in certain top tuners cozzies back in the 80's as being zebrano. that stuff resists rot unlike the floorpans and wheel arches on shonky sierras
