Rossa fastback
Hi I've always liked the look of Unipowers and the Deep Sanderson, but they are now worth way too much I did own a Mk 1 rossa but it went to Germany a quite a few years ago How about a home made one?

Re: Rossa fastback
I like it too - were you thinking of a slatted back - they'd need to finish before the boot space - so it'd seal.
How's it hinged, could be hinged to the roof, especially if rhe roof was bonded on, or clamshelled?

Re: Rossa fastback
I have always struggled with the back of a rossa, Orange suits it, and with your artist impression of the fast back, I like it alot Neil

Re: Rossa fastback
I think that looks pukka, you've turned it into a swan It might be me but it brings the Mustang fastback to mind

Seal the boot off and have an internal boot box ala Unipower gt How's it hinged, could be hinged to the roof, especially if rhe roof was bonded on, or clamshelled? Bond the roof on. Put a catch on the roof, with a release pull in the cockpit. (But the only problem is if you forget to shut it before setting off)

Re: Rossa fastback
Obviously stirred up a bit of interest, the back end could be more like the Lenham sprites from the sixties As for buying a Libra, if you have to ask, you don’t understand, for a lot of people modifying the car is a way to vent their creative flair I’m fortunate that I get paid to vent some of mine Three of the most recent projects, all Built in the UK Paul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE_hw_LaGsIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkVJS501Y78

I'm glad someone else picked up on this comment, I was so sorely tempted but I thought better of it, as I know Bob personally, and thought that what I wanted to post would have been taken wrongly Thankyou "flattrack500" for putting that better than I would have

Re: Rossa fastback
I think that looks really smart. It's totally changed the appearance of the whole car. Nice idea!

Re: Rossa fastback
Who's going to build one of these then?
Love the front end mod as well. Might knock up a skirt/chin spoiler for mine.
