That looks spectacular, I love the LAPD-spec black steels and dogdish combo.

That's not a diesel! Rekord D = 4th gen Rekord. "2.0 essence" per the gen, still won't be fast with a slusher but a lot more rapid than the 55bhp 2.1 derv lump you could get 'em with (manual only).

Great lookers those, though.

That is startlingly horrible and not cheap, is it Transit or Sherpa based?

 

I suppose if you paint it black it would be good for acting out any Anthill Mob fantiasies that you might have, or for going round dressed as the child-catcher.

HAHaHa

That Taurus is great, real "Hirst Used Automobiles" stuff. It's got a stick shift, it's fully-loaded and we'll even throw in a tape of banjo music. NO MONEY DOWN!

1995 Ford Thunderbird LX

 

Here's a nice partner for it, the spectacularly awkward-looking facelifted Thunderbird. The pre-facelift ones look stunning, what went wrong?

 

Delicious prefacelift one for comparison:

Crikey, a Geo Storm "Wagonback". You could get the regular Storms with an Isuzu twincam of some description which was meant to be great fun, don't think you could on the Wagonback though. Still probably alright though, it's just a MK2 Piazza (which we didn't get) underneath.

 

Prefacelift with the popup lights is cooler:

Yeah they had the 4XE1 16 valve engine that went the FWD M100 Elan. They have quite a following stateside as a really cheap entry level motorcross car.

Lush. Proper lush. However '...and the 1.7 , O. series engine runs fine and capable of moving this vehicle happily in todays traffic...'

 

Recalling the first van I ever drove was one of these for a tyre company it'd probably be quicker loading it with steel and pushing it up Windy Hill.

To put it into perspective the company got a 2.5 Peugeot diesel engined LDV400 after the Sherpa and it was a like a fugging Ferrari compared to the Sherp.

 

But I would still love that one above..

We had a ex-PO L reg 2.0 Diesel one of these at my old job, It was shit!, The clutch gave you cramp after 2 miles as it was so stiff and you had to have the biceps of he-man to steer it as it didn't have any of this power steering lark, It was a proper mans van, I felt out of my league driving it...

I reckon with a sherpa bellhousing, a LT77 and Pete's P6 you could make quiet a gentlemans express.

Those TD Maestros are surprisingly quick. Had my arse handed to me on a plate by one yonks back and was amazed how quick it went.Pretty rare as loads were raped by LandRover 'series' owners for their engines.F.T: buy it, get bored of it sell it to me when I have some money 8)

Slightly lower than a Pilot cos they are all semi high roofed.
