If the spine's OK it's a viable base for a buggy project. Looks terrible but that and the V5 is enough

Yep that's a good buggy project. The only bad bit if the front end were it has rotted through and one of the front beam bolts has snapped off.

and next time someone comes to you and they say they have this unknown weight on their shoulders you can tell them its actually a bastard lovechild of a Mk2 Transit and a Bedford Rascal!

Money well spent!, maybe you could "press" them over the massive gaping holes where there should be metal all over the fucking bodyshell

Did someone 3D print a 66% scale Transit and forget to lock the aspect ratio?

It would be hilarious if that turned out to have been a ringer once already earlier in its lifetime.

Everything But The Girl

Phun phact - they named themselves after Turners furniture shop in Hull, who had the slogan 'everything but the girl' above the window. Implication - you can have the settee but not the simpering model sprawled all over it. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt were students at Hull Uni.

I think that they've just released a new album called fuse and are talking about touring.

Steering wheel on the opposite side of the car compared to where I’d expect it on something in that part of the world.

Still a lot of expats trying to importing or using RHD cars.

The issue with this car is that it is not standard. importing a car into Spain that has been modified is impossible. Even modifying a car registered here is almost impossible. Loads of paperwork needed and mods have to confirm to EU conformities.

Thought you would be interested. 😁

I have no idea. The website looks is a bit iffy. Only one image per advert. Little details of the advertiser.  Dates on some adverts are historic. I came across it by accident.
