There was other shite but couldn’t pap it all If I'm correct the Fiat next to the red Fiesta is a Fiat 600D, which was a sort of "grown up" Fiat 500, with a larger engine and body, but still air-cooled and unbearably noisy! I read there was an Abarth version-blimey, a real 1960s "pocket rocket"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the macho Urban Man types (Pininterest) this is a 127 CSW ? Yours has twin snorkels so I'm thinking an RAF V8 Rapier type one that's been refitted? edit: www.foleysv.com/defender-130-conversions.html sutty2006 and danthecapriman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fugly but the panel fit is not actually too bad so I was figuring an 'official' Land Rover Specialist Vehicle type or fire engine type conversion before I found the foley link. Early 80s throwback to a 70s or earlier infill design? It just looks shite to be honest - at least they've parked up with an empty space either side as it's probably got the turning circle of a bus (my old 109 V8 was bad enough) sutty2006 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Surprise spot today from MrsDC... A surprise because it's on the driveway of a house that's only round the corner, and I've never noticed it in 13 years! Doesn't exactly look like it moves all that much... Is it a Starcraft Camper kit that's been 'upgraded' using a Sierra, once the original Cortina donor mouldered away? By rights, someone should have grafted a MK1 Mondeo on by now... CreepingJesus, Popsicle, adw1977 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a cortina StarCraft about a mile away from me in a different town. I’m certain it’s got two rear axles. And a funky painted mk1 transit rotting away on the drive.
