The shiteiest show of all?

[seth]

Been to the BMC/BL show today. Could it get more shite than that? Some of these photos are on R-R but some aren't

Wonderful, even some Dutchies! Love the interior of the third contraption.

Whereabouts was the show? I know the owner of that blue Oxford taxi.

[Milford Cubicle]

Does the taxi have a B-series diesel in it? The ADO17 pick-up and Austin 3-litres are wonderful.

Wuvvum, was at Nene Park, Peterborough.

Very nice Wolseley Princess, is that original or a conversion, I've never seen one before. Wasn't that Minissima penned by one William Towns who was also responsible for that temple to supercar shite the Aston Martin Lagonda?

Seem to be more Wolseley Wedges surviving than perhaps was once thought. Nice little article on KYT1-20P over on LeylandPrincess.co.uk

Did he not have a pair of compasses, or a set of french curves? He must have drawn the wheels around a 10p piece or his cup of coffee...

Check the 'italic serck' font on those plates! I bet he designed that too. I remember seeing some of those Hustlers at a car show when I was a nipper and being knocked out by how futuristic they were, they almost seemed unreal with their big flat tinted plate glass sides. I think he's responsible for the Hillman Hunter and Aston DBS as well. There was a class interview with him in C+SC a couple of years ago, at his home (which he had designed). I think he was restoring a Maserati Mistral or an AC 428, cant remember which it was. i think he's no longer with us now however. A king of shite!

Rember the Jag E type based Guyson? Again drawn with only a ruler, 2 were built of the known survior it has recently been reboided into an E type again

 

 

He did those autosleeper motorhomes with the one piece monocoque too

 

[Split_Pin]

That blue Farina is wonderful as its colour scheme reminds me of an extremely shite metal 60's pedal car I have in my parents' loft! (free to a good home)That Ital engine bay is proper bling too!!!

Pi rounded up to 4.000.The future, according to 'Space 1999'...

Anyone know what kind of survival rate those Land Lobsters have? I remember someone from Practical Classics was farting around with one, T-cutting it and that a few years ago, don`t think it was ever mentioned whether it got on the road or not, but I remember him saying that the numbers were into single figures - are those two black ones pretty much it?
