[s-cars] Avantissimo light

[Vincent]

Hi Bill,

Since you called her by her name... it's Avantissimo _light_, right? So,
before adding, you should remove! What about ditching everything behind the
front seats to make it lighter - you have rear seats in the red one anyway,
even in the M3; who needs 3 rear benches - welding the rear doors and making
her the first Sehrleichtjagtavant (AFAIK), ala Aston Marin
(http://www.astonmartins.com/virage/v8_long_chassis_shooting_brake_roos.htm)
. Of course, this would make BBK, deep rumble 3" exhaust and large hp figure
mandatory to keep up with the lineage, and rolled rear fenders with big
meaty tires wouldn't hurt (memories of some black S-beast Avant of Northern
Europe I can't find a link to). The wood roof bars are optional
http://www.partaj.cz/clanky/aston-martin-dbs-shooting-brake-1970-48.html),
not sure they would really fit on a Jagtavant. But, all black, with tinted
windows, I'm sure it would fit your requirements of an urban assault
marauder... in a exhilarating bad-ass way.

Beside, you would save around about 630K$ compared to its ancestor
(http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/super-rare-650k-aston-martin-shooting
-brake-up-for-auction-ar94638/picture371139.html). Second, but not least, it
would make a lot of room to sleep off a decent number of beers at S-Fest ;

I would figure 5K for the Sehrleichtjagtavant conversion if the
Zukommensehrleichtjagtavant paint is good enough that welding the rear doors
does not require a full respray and your skills include enough creativity to
make a nice looking trunk booth from the front doors back without hiring a
interior designer. Considering how unique this all-black-bad-ass would be, I
would even make without the RS2 conversion to fit in the budget. But it's
just me and my crazy ideas.



Vincent - dreaming of what if I had as many 15K as projects - F

Hap, et.al.,
Thanks for the great ideas and responses.
I have yet to set my eyes upon this potential rat rod S-car, a concept
pioneered by Vincent up north and Serge of Crooklyn fame.
That said, Serge's Maaco Blue avant met an untimely demise in a Crooklyn
intersection IIRC, and Vincent's Silver (some called it rusted) Bullet was
simply overcome when more systems were not working than were.
It will be interesting to see what rolls off the car carrier in a week or
two.  Hard to say.  The PO didn't even know it had seat heaters and was
using it as a, so called, Greenwich "Station Car."  Oh my!
