I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or get the violin out when reading the rather thorough description.....

 

Near enough to possibly get it home ......

Cant be arsed with link as presume it's all the usual bullshit about gen ex ford R&D blah blah blah.

When it's history is well documented including the fact it was rotten as a rotten thing from rot town so probably just had the int repaired & swapped into another shell.

There needs to be a corner of the world reserved for C6s to die with dignity. A place where they are treated with respect and kept away from morons who don't understand them.

Palliative care would be given, and their lives celebrated. 

Cignitas.

What's this?  Some sort of key for raising the radio ariel?

The answer is probably in the description somewhere, but that's about 10,000 words long.

Not sure about raising a Little Mermaid (that's outside my sphere of my life's experiences) but pretty handy for raising the car's aerial

Weird that I don't remember such a thing, my Dad had an A reg Cavalier L and it's the sort of thing I thought I would remember, being fascinated by cars from a young age.

Locking aerial, isn't it? I'm guessing I'm about two years older than you and I have a vague recollection that the idea was to prevent little scrotes pulling up your aerial and snapping the bugger off. In reality,  I'd imagine around 0.00001% of the population bothered locking their aerials and everyone else left it to fate.

Yup. There was a phase of idiots pulling up and snapping off. Remember, these were the answer to whip aerials.

You then replaced your aerial with a bent metal coat hanger shoved in the hole.

Got to say if it was a normal size crown vic i'd have bought it when it was for sale on here first time round, but unlike normal, extra length isnt better in this case

Drove my old Bosses V12 convertible one of these quite a bit a few years ago now. Bloody great cars, but why would you paint it that colour? why? WHY?

It kind of looks like BMW techno violet in this picture. I'm sure @Schaefft will know. 

They didn't do an 8 series convertible that I know of, was it a custom job?

I think Techno Violet is darker but it's definitely a rare color, I'm not sure if I'm a fan in this case though as I'd want it to be darker. Might be Violet Blue. Rear arches are crusty though so keying the whole car probably didn't cause a lot of damage, it would need a near complete respray no matter what. No convertibles unless someone chopped the roof off.

It does look a bit like that colour but not quite to my eye.

Youve tested my memory somewhat here it was a BMW dealership i worked in and it was the MD's company car, i wonder if im thinking of an 840i convertible and the later car he had was the v12?  I cant remember it was nearly 30  years ago now.

Id have sworn it was an E31 convertible of some sort, maybe im imagining it, drove a lot of different BMW's back then

[alcyonecorporation]

BMW is said to have built as many as three E31 cabriolets;  one red 850 is in BMW Classic's collection, and can be viewed by the public. 
If your boss had one, conversions were carried out to 20 or so LHD cars by Styling Garage, who called it 'Monte Carlo'. 
I believe an NFL player in the US had one done by a workshop Stateside, too. 

Might it have been a Styling Garage car?
