Bfg Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 ^ I must be getting really old 'cause the estate car in the background looks more interesting to me. What is it a Zodiac or summit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Jag IRS under an early 60s Ford Thames van. This looks neatly done. Note red foglight to light it all up at night.I used to do drawings like this on the covers of my school jotters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it a Zodiac or summit ?Cresta PA estate. Possibly by Friary? Like The Queen had. (Maybe HM was in attendance with the royal tent). Someone's fitted rostyle wheels to it. Possibly Prince Philip, maybe Charles. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Check out this rather unhappy looking contraption. Some Vorkshalls are shit. Amishtat and Zantimisfit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hmmm.Wonder what the handling's like. Or if it can go round corners. How about we take a look under the back, to see the craftsmanship which went into installing the rear suspension?

JeeExEll Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 HOLY SHIT Batman!!!The MOT man would have had something to say about this. After he'd peed in his overalls laughing.Apart from the two front tie-bars, all that's holding the whole propped-up body to the suspension and massively heavy Jag rear to the body are the short welds about an inch long at the original chassis legs. And the propshaft. Of course. And the brake pipes.'Should' be ok then. "How fast will she go Mister? Would she do a ton-twenty? Go on, do a burnout for us Mister".

spartacus Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I had a whole book of these once, can you remind me who the artist/s is/are please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeeExEll Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 ^ Can't answer that one Spartacus as they were random pics I'd saved ages ago. I didn't know there is a book of them Definitely worth looking up on the net as I'd like to see more. Google '1960s car art' or something like that.

Google '1960s car art' or something like that.My pot addled memory finally succumbed, it's a book called 'Zany Afternoons' by Bruce McCall. Definitely worth picking up of you can find one. I'm going to root through my stuff that's stored at my folks place and see if I can find it. flat4alfa and JeeExEll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 "Zany Afternoons" is a great book and represents his art across several genres - mostly taking the piss. If you can find one, this is also v. amusing and full of 50s parody - aimed at the car enthusiast.

spartacus Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah, I remember it well now, I think there's an Italian fighter plane design that can fly as capably and as fast in either direction, that kind of thing, I must find the book!
