Split_Pin Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Oh dear - quality find though! Thats bastardization of a classic motor to the extreme.At least the numberplate kind of reads 'Spaz' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And a Ford 1.8 Denzel engine? Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Excellent. That'll have the beardy "restore 'em all" Minor traditionalists crying into their real ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Lovely. Appears to have a broken back, and uses mostly Ford parts? I'm with Craig though, the best use of this would be to take it to a Minor show and watch them cry.I read the plate as "SPAZ OOF". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyloud Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Good Grief. Perfect for serial killers I suppose. I wonder if it started life as one of those wierdy Starcraft dogging vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The Minor specialists near me have a six wheeled pick up they built years ago. Might even be twincam powered but I can't remember. Here's a small pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Another one to upset the beardy ones from Newark kit car show last weekend:- Not my cuppa meat, but GR8 4 WINDIN UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That black thing is bloody awful, looks like its bent in the middle. Maybe it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jeff Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 That 6 wheeled monster was at the MMOC national last weekend, so it can't have wound the Beardy contingient up that much if it managed to escape un-torched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd say the Spasmobile is front wheel drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd say the Spasmobile is front wheel drive.Unless its the 1800cc Sierra TD engine and box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The black 6-wheeler is superbly hideous, but the orange, rodded van is just SUPERB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXrescuer Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 That black thing is bloody awful, looks like its bent in the middle. Maybe it is.Aye, it reminds me of the stretched limos the Top Gear boys did a couple of years back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Hmmmmm. Ford wheels and front struts instead of torsion bars Jacked-up like it is, I'd want that to be a 6x6, but one would hope the denzel lump had at least one turbocharger bolted to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I see no diff on the middle axle but I do see what looks like the end of a CV joint at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
