Mr Pastry Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I expect there's a thriving Owner's Club who have road runs, summer picnics and an annual national rally and concours. And a breakaway organisation for those owners who don't talk to the Owner's Club. LightBulbFun, martc, lesapandre and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I did stumble upon the 'Toro Workman HD' a strange confection made in Torah, Wisconsin, USofA. https://www.toro.com/en-gb You can configure it to various agricultural roles. Toro also make all sorts of stuff from the Workman to golf buggies, ditch diggers to lawn mowers. And plastic pipes. warch and SteersWithThrottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I'm pretty sure that a gully cleaner or similar appeared on the tat thread with its tank converted to 'luxurious accommodation' not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and Bertone had outsourced its manufacture to a company called Matchbox. HMC, bunglebus and martc 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 OK some more Alfa Romeo concept cars i knew nothing about. The 'BAT' series BAT = Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica. This was a joint project between AR and Bertone between 1953 and 1955, they had drag coefficients below 0.19 which would be an acheivement today never mind 60 years ago. The underpinnings came from the 1900 sereis The donor. And Clockwise, from the left - the 5, 7 and 9. Alfa Romeo and Bertone showed a new BAT concept in 2008 the BAT 11 based on the 8C Competzione Yoss, bunglebus, JeeExEll and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in French. https://www.carjager.com/blog/article/peugeot-306-hdi-break-de-chasse-one-shot.html But you have what appears to be a 306 cabriolet body, 607 rear lights and I assume a modified Peugeot roof?
