Just down the road, one of the guys at the local garage has been doing up his T4 - on air suspension, just finished the paint

Never did get mine on the road, still want one, just never got round to it and would look like a daft old twat if I did.

No, no, no, no, no. Do not stick 12" rims on a Mutant, and especially do not put a roof rack on it.

Now there's a rare thing, it has just reminded me of something I must put in the forgotten cars thread.

This one's odd. I thought it had to be one of those faux-vintage things used as a promotional vehicle. Badged as a Morris but comes up as an Austin from 1959. Any ideas?

And a TDI like mine but with a sunroof! Rare colour too

New stock at the classic dealer. Air-ride Beetle was OK but I preferred the Saaab

That SAAB is far better than that Bug. It seams to be a bit confused as to what it is meant to be. I've never understood why people mix vintage accessories with modern wheels. They must have spent a lot doing the car, but the concept is just mixed. I'd have put 6-volt style wing and headlamps on and gone for stock width 15" domed hub cap wheels with 135s on the front and 165s on the back, painted with a whit rim and a centre to match the interior.

 

That Ginetta looks fab by the way
