How about a Roverised version of this Honda Legend.

Coming up. Do you want me to just Roverise this one or do you want me to create a Rover using this as a base, with some shared panels but a different look (like my Jag SD1 in Scenarios)?

Here's the first version, the rebrand. It looks like it would fit into the range quite well!

Now to do the proper one!

Looks good so far, think it needs more chrome, handles and mirrors?

I prefer this take on the theme. Then again I am a huge SD1 fan so I would.

Looks a bit like a current Ford Mondeo though IMO.

Taking of Honda / Rover variants, did Rover ever consider making a version of the late 1980s Legend coupe?

The SD1-esque version looks quite good apart from the front. That Honda Legend is horrible though.

I've just realised what the SD1-ised Leg End looks like - Prius :shock:

As regards the Leg End, what's not to like about a car that can see in the dark and steer itself?

I know the front looks crap but I was trying to keep some SD1 influences there - No grille and a big badge - TBH the one I did around a Rover 75 looked better.

I see your point - but I think new Mondeo more than Prius personally. It just shows what a huge infkuence the SD1 was stylistically.

I think there's something of the Citroen C6 about it...?

I keep seeing this somehow. Must be the drugs.

Mig, I see your point, it does look C6-ish!

Andy, it's definitely the drugs.

That fastback Ronda Honda thing looks rather good, whatever happened to big fastbacks? C6 is the only one current isn't it? And thats got the whole weird curved glass going on..
