egg Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Uneco Suburban Safari Located just north of Madison Nebraska, Suburban Motors came to life in the late 1960's from a metal fabricating company called Uneco. In 1968 the Suburban Safari was born. While the exact number made is up for debate, sources say between 58 and 64 were officially produced before a fire destroyed the plant and ended any future plans. https://www.motoexotica.com/vehicles/3830/1968-suburban-safari-1968-suburban-safari MiniMinorMk3, Remspoor and warren t claim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Citroën 2cv Radar Robert Radar created this 2-door convertible, based on the 2cv platform, in 1956. Citroën was interested and made 20 of these in their Forest factory between 1957 and 1962. And yes, that windscreen is the rear window of the DS.

A friend had one for his company runabout that I borrowed to collect some furniture from the Isle of Wight, somehow we managed to squeeze in a sideboard, a disassembled dining room table and four chairs, as well as my pregnant wife and myself. I think the inside is a bit like a Tardis. Remspoor and bunglebus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the inside is a bit like a Tardis. Yes, I only had my 305 for a year, but in that time I took my brother with all his worldly possessions to Germany where hes lived ever since. We loaded up, drove down the road then realised that one tyre was rubbing on the inner wheel arch, owing to a previously undiagnosed worn suspension bearing . We stopped, pulled everything out then put it back with all the heavy stuff on the other side. No more problems, and once I dropped him off in Essen my wife flew out and we had a week's holiday. It cruised at 75-80 fine on the autobahn. puddlethumper, Dyslexic Viking, bunglebus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
