Once Jerry Lloyd from Wales built a pickupian in his garage [Rover 75](https://motor.ru/stories/mogli-no-n-sumeli-rover-75.htm), and also a funny “pulling-toal”, connecting two front halves of such machines. He chose the model simply because of the cheapness of donors. But over time, the English sedan in retro-style was so loved that Jerry decided to build an elegant compartment based on the 2004 concept car of 2004. He perfectly mastered the craft of a tin: he implanted a roof and glazing from a two-door “three-door” BMW E92 (the roof had to be expanded by 7.5 centimeters), transferred the middle rack, installed non-grade doors from the BMW of the 4th series (crossing them with external Panels from Rover), and in the cabin mounted folding seats and upholstery of the doors from the BMW (the electronics in which it was possible to make friends with the Rover “brains”. The retirement mesh was spent on these works for about 2500 hours.

And she also had a sister with a similar appearance and technical filling: Alfa Romeo Brera, produced in the form of a three -door compartment or convertible. A fan of Alfa Romeo brand Brandon Sholz from South Africa decided to build something average – a five -door hatchback, combining the body of the 159 sedan and the back of the lifting door from the BRERA compartment. So they did: however, in reality, the work turned out to be more complicated – although the profile is similar, it differs in height. To preserve the elegant Brera contours, the back of the roof had to be seriously redrawn!
Brendon Scholtz “Baby-Benz”-a small sedan [190 E](https://motor.ru/stories/story-off-mercedes-benz-190.htm)-in the 80s was a breakthrough for the Mercedes-benz brand. And the tuning company Schulz Tuning in 1991 turned it into a compact hatchback. The serial machine was shortened, reducing the wheel base and cutting the body along the back stance. Instead of the rear doors, deaf sides of plastic were made, and a new back with a lifting door was made from parts from the E-class universal (S124). It turned out something like a “penny” of the BMW: a golf-class rear-wheel drive hatchback with the ability to get a powerful six-cylinder engine (a black Schulz Tuning advertising Booklet machine was equipped with a 2.6-hp engine with a power of 160 hp), a workshop near Ducusseldorf collected only three such cars. What is not surprising: the alteration cost 22 thousand German brands, which amounted to more than 60% of the cost of the basic “Baby Benz” with a 1.8 engine.
Schulz tuning They also did something similar with the “three” BMW in the E30 body, turning it into a short hatchback. When we met a couple of lousy photographs on the Internet, we were sure that these were tricks of Photoshop lovers. But smoking a little deeper, we found out that these are the guys from the small Indonesian master Glauben Pro Custom a few years ago with a grinder, welding and putty. Moreover, two hatchbacks were made at once – three -door and five -door (after all, the BMW sedans of the E30 series were produced in both four -door and two -door design). But from what the door of the luggage compartment was made from, we could not find out.
Glauben Pro Custom The nineties in Europe were a time of unbridled tuning: professional workshops created abruptive show-kars to attract clients-Petrolheads. This bright Peugeot 306 was one of the first projects of the Ecosse Automotive workshop, and visited the covers of all tuning magazines in the late 90s. And it stood out not only with an apple green color, a radical body kit of Esquiss or a 350-horsepower turbo engine from Peugeot 405 T16. The fact is that there has never been a two -door sedan in the Peugeot 306 family! The Scots took the usual four -door sedan, but not just drowned the rear doors, but implanted entirely long doors along with the sidewalls from a three -door hatchback. Because of the shape of the rear windows, it did not turn out too harmonious-but it looks as if it was made by the plant!
[Ecosse Automotive](https://ecosse-automotive.com/) The Mercedes has a very confusing fate in the photo – initially it was a two -door compartment of the 450 SLC series C107. The Crayford body atelier rebuilt it into Shooting Brake called Condor: the three -door universal of a not particularly harmonious species was one of the stars of the British car dealership in 1980. A distinctive feature of the car was curved glass, playing the role of the rear door. At the car dealership, a well -known cardiac surgeon acquired a car for the huge 32 thousand pounds. Over seven years of ownership, he twice fell into serious accidents, and if for the first time the car was restored in its original state, then for the second time the reserve of unique glasses were left. In 1987, the car was bought by the new owner of Crayford David Batloion: During the repair, he used the rear door of the Opel Ascona C Liftbek. So Mercedes acquired his current look.
JW Floor Mercedes Classics The Jaguar brand produced three-door compartment with convenient access to the trunk back in the 60s: we mean the classic Jaguar E-Type. The Jaguar XJS replaced him in 1975 was more comfortable, relaxed “Grand Turismo”. His trunk had a rather decent volume of 480 liters, but access there was traditionally – like a sedan. The owner of this machine in 1993 worked as an engineer on Jaguar: since 1981, he has been hatched the idea of turning a two-door Jaguar XJS into a three-door hatchback compartment. He began to implement the implementation in 2008: James Sidwell Classic Cars was directly engaged in bodywork, 55 hours took them. They made the original back door using the “native” lid of the trunk and glass from MGB GT. To install a folding rear sofa, a gas tank and a spare wheel had to be moved – on a serial machine they were placed between the back and the luggage compartment.
H&G AUCTIONS The sixth generation Honda Civic has never been produced in the form of a five -door hatchback. True, in Europe, under this name, the British -made liftback based on the Honda Domani related model was offered. But this machine was not supplied to the rest of the world, and the global “piche -eyed” Sivik did not have such a modification. However, lovers of the brand in different parts of the world got to collect five -door independently – welding the back of the three -door hatchback to the body of the four -door sedan (good, the design of the body and their contours are very close). It is hardly done for practical considerations – rather, to stand out on the rams of the “Hondovodovs” and advertise the body workshop.
Kenny Wright / Evil_twin84 Volkswagen, along with the Golf hatchback, has always produced sedans unified with them. Moreover, in the first two generations, Jetta sedans were proposed both in a four -door configuration and in a two -door. But the two-door sedan based on the “third” golf is already the work of private tiners who wanted something unusual. The recipe is simple – in any case, in words: take the serial sedan Volkswagen Vento/Jetta, and weld the sidewalls from three -armed golf, installing long doors from it. It happens in a different way: a three-door Golf plus a back from the Vento sedan. True, the “golf” side windows combined with Vento racks do not look quite harmonious, so some masters correct the shape of window openings, increasing the thickness of the racks. The glass has to be made to order, but it turns out more pretty.
Anton Moiseev According to the same recipe, the fourth-generation two-door sedans are also created-except that the welding works are more there due to the fact that the rear rack has a completely different shape than that of the hatchback. And with a window opening there was more – in form it does not look at all at the fourth Golf. As a result, the shape of the rear window on different machines varies noticeably. By the way, now few people remember this, but Volkswagen himself did a similar two -door! In January 1997, a Volkswagen CJ Concept was shown at Detroit Motor Show, which looked ready for production – and, as it turned out later, anticipated the Bora serial model. But the two-door remained a piece of the concept car …
[Ricardo Rangel](https://custbass.blogspot.com/2015/10/showcase-7-yl-car-audio-en-mexico.html) In the mid-80s, the Italian studio Carrozzeria boneschi turned the Lancia Thema sedan into a two-door compartment. To do this, the middle counter of the body was moved back, the front doors were lengthened, and instead of the rear, solid sidewalls with original rear glasses were installed. The roof profile was left standard. It turned out not especially elegant … but still not bad! The two -door remained in the only copy.
AUT-OF DATE The Audi Sport QUATTRO Model of 1984 is similar to its silhouette on the Audi Quattro compartment, but is characterized by a shortened base, a more chopping windshield and a mass of less noticeable features. It is no secret that this machine is a sophisticated cocktail of body fragments from the Audi Quattro compartment, the two -door Audi 80 sedan plus a number of exclusive components. Thanks to this, the creation of remarks of this rare car has long been put on stream. The owner of this machine carried out very difficult work: he shortened the Audi 80 two-door base, introduced the plumage from Sport Quattro with the original front and wide arches, but … for some reason, he decided to leave the roof, rear racks and the back of the “eighty”. Short -binding Audi Sport Quattro and in itself does not differ in external harmony, but here it turned out, well, it’s completely strange. But then no one has more such cars!
[owngun / Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/adi/comments/1512wis/custom_audi_804000_Sedan_with_Sport_quattro/) And you could well meet such a fret on the road. That’s just two -door sedans in the Samara family never there have never been! Three -sized hatchbacks – “eights”, five -door – “nine”, four -door sedans – “ninety -ninth” …. And such two -doors in Togliatti were not released. So this is the individual work of tiners who wished to somehow stand out among many similar “Samar”. After all, a two -door sedan is almost a compartment! Alteration simplifies the proximity of the design of all these modifications: in the body of the “ninety -ninth” sedan, the sidewalls from the three -door “eight” with long doors are almost entirely welded – and the veil, the two -door is ready! True, the side glasses and their seals have to be made on order (after all, the window opening is smaller in size than on the “eight”).
