And Ford back wheels too?Fuggin hideous

[Split_Pin]

Oh dear - quality find though! Thats bastardization of a classic motor to the extreme.At least the numberplate kind of reads 'Spaz'

[Milford Cubicle]

And a Ford 1.8 Denzel engine? Very nice.

[Cavcraft]

Most appropriate number plate EVAH!!!111!!!?

Excellent. That'll have the beardy "restore 'em all" Minor traditionalists crying into their real ale

[pogweasel]

Superb.

[Pillock]

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".

[reallyloud]

Good Grief. Perfect for serial killers I suppose. I wonder if it started life as one of those wierdy Starcraft dogging vehicles.

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.

Another one to upset the beardy ones from Newark kit car show last weekend:-

 

 

 

 

 

Not my cuppa meat, but GR8 4 WINDIN UP.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That black thing is bloody awful, looks like its bent in the middle. Maybe it is.

[Jazzy Jeff]

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.

[Richard]

I'd say the Spasmobile is front wheel drive.

[Guest]

I'd say the Spasmobile is front wheel drive.

Unless its the 1800cc Sierra TD engine and box

[55bloke]

The black 6-wheeler is superbly hideous, but the orange, rodded van is just SUPERB!

[AXrescuer]

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!

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

[Richard]

I see no diff on the middle axle but I do see what looks like the end of a CV joint at the front.
