QPV Centurion Edition

[makeshiftUK]

...did any ever make it into the UK?

Now where did I put my Centurion card... LOL (I wish)

 

[Devonboy]

Not sure - I thought it was a US edition like the dept store specials like Neiman Marcus but could be wrong.

 

[makeshiftUK]

...like Neiman Marcus

Are they chrome alloys on the Neiman Marcus edition???

Not sure but nothing would surprise me....

 

[Devonboy]

I stand corrected the Centurion edition was a Maserati GB car so suspect they shifted some but considering there are only 2 Awards editions in the U.K.(I believe) suspect the number could be nil....never seen one for sale - perhaps Dicky Grace can put us right?

That would be a very exclusive car to have... I'd have to make sure the previous rapper-owner didn't leave his Glock in the glove compartment...

I used to own a Ford Probe (Steve Coogan aside, great car)... and in the US the 'GTS' version came with chrome alloys, which were highly sought after over here:

To bling for the super cool and slightly “cad” vibe of the QP5!

I had a V6 24v Probe as well. Believe it or not.....don't laugh....one of my best cars I've had. Exhaust, cam & few little bits up to a heady 210bhp. A great GT with a massive boot saw me spend of miles in it up & down A1/M1/M40 up North & back again.

 

[Devonboy]

Can we get away from Ford Probes?

 

[rockits]

Saved my life in a fatal car accident so it is a dear car to me for good reason. Also had pop up head lights

 

[Andyk]

And as we know pop up headlights was and still is the best part of any car. We morn the passing of pop up headlights.....The theatre of seeing them come up.....

 

[Ewan]

Love pop-ups!

 

[daverichardson]

Oh those sort of pop ups

 

[makeshiftUK]

Rockits, for fear of reprisal I will continue the Ford conversation with you on a PM!

I will add however that I installed the ‘flash to pass’ mod... quite simply, flashing your main beams in daylight driving conditions would have the headlamps pop up and down again.. good times.

PS. Always fancied an E31 850Csi...

Love pop-ups!

What’s the car on the right!? Beautiful lineup.

Ironically, a friend of mine bought a yellow Ferrari 550 Maranello from a well known specialist in Germany and when it arrived at the port he was pulled aside and questioned about the gun found under the passenger seat. Turned out that the gun was a high spec replica and they said it was his property and asked if he wanted to keep it. He politely declined!

I had a Nissan 200SX (S13) with pop ups and they were a delight. Especially when greeting other 200SXs.

Didn't someone adapt their pop-ups to do winking rather than blinking?

That's my Venturi Atlantique bi-turbo (one of just three RHD cars that were built for the UK). There is a nice single-turbo version currently advertised on Pistonheads, just in case anyone fancies one.

The pop up headlights was the only thing about this car that was any good. Other than its safety tests I guess.
A mate had one. It was awful!

That's lovely. Love it in green.
