Keeping it within the BL stable, is it a Maxi in need of some light* recommissioning?

TR7 Drophead with 'aftermarket' TR8 upgrade* using a Land Rover Stage 1 V8? Winnah

Hmmm, that's tricky - I reckon I could up you with the best* example of the predecessor?
I give you:

The Rover Montego Countryman (this one is, allegedly, an EFi Auto, top of the range blah blah. I note the shite wheel trims identical to those seen on my 1.6 carbed poverty spec version)
Only thing to beat this would be a Countryman D

That doesn't look far off the purple 1100 that @catsinthewelder, @vulgalour, me and now @sharley17194 has. 🙃

[vulgalour]

Would you like another clue perhaps?

[catsinthewelder]

Please say it's the xbollox 220?  I've not been in the yard today!

[Hawkeyethenoo]

Is it is this year's Turner Prize winning, Alter Altar. Ford Escort adorned doily per chance? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3e3982dz8ko

 

[vulgalour]

Okay, here's your next clue: The remote control is missing.

[D.E]

[catsinthewelder]

[vulgalour]

I should have been more specific.  It's a wired remote control.

[Heidel_Kakao]

A Land Rover with a winch but someone lost the winches wired remote? Would definitely fit with being broken down.

[EspenO]

 

Didn’t think Porsches were your cup of tea, but I suppose you could have a seventies Blaupunkt in anything…

Didn’t the Montego diesel have an engine supplied by Massey Ferguson? Or did it just sound like it?

is it a 7 inch gauge model railway locomotive, like what @Mrs6C has?  (as modelled(?) by yours truly)

Wow, an Xsara Picasso I don't hate! I didn't think I'd ever say something like that!

I'll go with something more modern, so Rover 45?

Is a Rover 45 more modern than a Citroen Xsara Picasso? The Rover went into production earlier (as the Rover 400) and left production earlier too. It was also a more traditional body style.

 

You could argue the suspension design of the Rover is more modern. The Citroen got common rail diesel engines and the Rover never did. I think overall the Xsara Picasso is more modern than the Rover 45

[Markeh]

Didn't the third gen Espace have a remote control for the stereo? Don't think it was wired, though.

[vulgalour]

One of you is very close to correct in this last batch of guesses.  It's not the submarine, just in case you thought it was that one.

You should have got the HS2 contract.

its not @Amelia's Renault 5 WAV vehicle is it? IIRC that has electronically controlled suspension for the whole WAV aspect of it

Does it have the structural integrity of the said submarine?

If it's still got HGF then it's not really a "conveyance", more like a "monument", or indeed, an "albatross"!
