Mr_Bo11ox Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Word up Hey I was out 'n' about on sunday and i went past a class garage, check it aaaht: loads of stuff lying about including a few 1950s/60s yankee pick up trucks, though mrs Bol was taken by a burgundy VP 1300 with the OAPTRONIC 'switchable' 4-speed automatic trans. It was allegedly for sale but had no price on it, also it looks like it had been restored to a level that was not bad, but no better than what i could probably do. Round the corner was this SANDGLOW SUPA HOT HARD-WORKIN' HALF-TON HONEY: I chatted the geezer up about it, he bought it for carting bits of old cars around in as his mrs was complaining about engine oil and damage in the boot of her fiesta. Needed a sill on it and someone has plated the load bay over the top of the normal corrugated bed floor, so thats probably in a bit of a state, but still a lovely way to get about. PLus, low gearing and no weight over the back = GR8 4 DRIFTIN DOWN 2 THE LOCAL MARKET GARDENERS' COLLECTIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Fab looking place! Would be awesome if the forecourt was restored somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Marina's a proper beaut!Fair play to the guy for not opting for the usual Hi-Lux or clapped-out n-reg Cabstar (although nothing wrong with older, shite versions of these either!)
