Can't access the link, but at some point there was a Facel Vega with sliding doos which disappeared back inside the rear quarter panels! Brilliant!

Someone bought this american prototype car on ebay a while ago (it was meant to be scrapped ages ago but someone, somehow managed to saved it).

I guess people start to realise it could be a short term way of earning big bucks if they starts to modify standard cars to have "disappearing doors". Hence the site?

BTW, have you guys seen the doors' interior view of that prototype? It's only a flat piece of fibric material! (very bad looking in my mind), but it's limited to that because of techanical issue (it has to roll/bend during the door opening process).

But i must admit... the door action is really cool!!! :twisted:
