poor sod, having to face the daily humiliation of riding around on that.  With the full attire of a seasoned biker ..but in fact being a supermarket barrow boy.  And an oh-so-plastic barrow at that, with the riding position of a cheap end of the market chinese scooter., whose bonnet and seat makes my Shitroen Ami's panel fit look very trim indeed !  Imagine the manly proud as he starts the machine, the hoarty sound of a  .. ooh an under-powered electric motor :(  

 

And just for fun, the supplier reasoned : why not fit round-sectioned tyres to this trike ? .. then they'll be less grip on the road ..but it sure will track along ridges horribly ! 

 

poor, poor sod.  whatever did he do to deserve it ?

Genuinely I feel for the guy.

How could anyone not know the XJS existed, you may be asking. Ah, but this is a Daimler XJS. Sharp eyes will notice the flutes on the top of the grille, and it's also a hardtop with a targa roof and no buttresses. It was built in 1985 but the Americans didn't take to it and preferred the convertible so it went no further.
