That looks like one of those Corgi Cameo models that were even nastier, shitter and less prototypical than the Lledo crap your Uncle used to put in little green flocked cabinets in the lounge of his semi in Bruntingthorpe....

The seller of that wooden Escort thing seems to be confusing his Stevenses. Anthony Stevens didn't go on to Jaguar after designing more plastic shitheaps. He now makes ugly plastic electric vans with his son Peter , no not the one that did the XJR15.

He does however claim to have designed the Rootes Arrow range,which is probably news to Roy Axe and William Towns. It would seem the Noddy Paddy Wagon is his best work.

The only redeeming feature about that van is that it was owned by a circus for advertising purposes.  There's nothing else you could use it for is there, really?

I'd love to save it but seeing as I can't even save a shit suzuki that's not even half as bad I'm out.

 

Tbh it's a very rare utter povo spec one with vinyl seats. And I've seen a lot worse fixed up.

I have the remains of a similar base model shed at the bottom of the garden, er, being a shed. Mine is a bit more solid, but lacking useful things like engine, suspension, doors, interior, etc. Quite good for storing crap in though.

Minis and metros are in demand by the trike riders. Basically weld subframe and engine to a bike. That's where it's destined if engine is ok

GR9 for ferrying around a load of short gangsters.

I yearn for the days when only the likes of HCB-Angus and Alfred Miles used checker-plate.

It looks more like a prop from a secondary school stage production of "First of the Few"

I wonder how it does in the pedestrian crash test? 

 

To be honest though it this was local I would be tempted to put £200 down and re do the body.
