Does anyone else think those rear lights are similar to that on the Rover SD1?

Yeah I was on about the Lotus, it is a cool car! The Toyota is huge and apparently much comfier and better than his Range Rover ha!

They are. And the door handles were from an Austin Alegro. And the gearbox bell housing was from something equally exotic.

The good old days of butchering someone else's parts bin to build a car.

Look like Marina handles to me? Probably the same thing though, must have been used on most BL products

Used to have one on the drive as my Dad dropped the engine from it into his mk1 Escort...
