How every Mk2 Transit was meant to look at 6 months old.

It's waiting for the boys to get back from holding up a wages delivery/post office.

Apparently it had a Salisbury lsd rear axle from a Aston DB6.

Presumably faster than a Saab too...?

The new Transit is keeping up the tradition - some remarkably scruffy ones in London...

Pre-facelift 3 litre with facelift front and bonnet. Looks like maybe Mk1 Escort indicators.  The quarter bumpers look a little bit odd mounted so low.

Can't tell what the wheels are, Wolfrace slot mags would have been perfect.

DVLA says 'Special Ford'.  2994cc, so an Essex V6.  

Was it a one-off or some sort of fantastic build-your-own kit which you could live in?  No idea. Rally bucket front seats too.  I'd love to go on holiday in one.

It would be interesting to drive around sharp bends with the overhangs.

Ventora 3.3 with the dual tailpipes.  Fwoarrr.  Rub thighs.

The indicators on the MK1 Capri look like HC viva Inc part of valance/front panel.

The 'Royal' Caravan. As in - built for Prince Charles and Princess Anne in 1955.

The Gospel Ark, 1937.  With external leaf springs, yet still retaining chrome hubcaps.  Changing a wheel at the side of the road in the pouring rain must have been fun and games.

FFS give us a clue, - escaped lunatics, snakes, land-mines, mud on road, vampire clowns, robotic cybermen posing as humans, poisonous fog, giant buzzards?   What?

It is quite impressive.  In the early 90s I worked with a guy in his 50s who was totally bald on top but still had some hair lower down at the back.  He used to comb it all the way forward in two halves so he had a fringe and a sort of centre parting.  He was a really sound bloke to work with but very set in his ways and no-one ever mentioned it, but when he was talking to clients you could see their eyes drifting upwards to his forehead.

Nah, he'd get down on his knees and ask for divine intervention.

That is almost the same way that Trump's hairdo* works...
