martc Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Pretty sure 88 is a Robur but those with moar knowledge will no doubt confirm/deny I think you're right - I'll stick me neck out and say it's a Typ (sic) LO 2002. mercrocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 About 70% of those are things I've never even heard of. That would explain why I was struggling. There was me thinking it was going to be a challenge this batch too. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Gone through and updated. That Robur (#88) looks more like a later LO3000, little trim details on the front make it a better fit to my eye than the earlier 2002. 87 is a 1977 Holiday Rambler Motorhome 82 I now know is an Austin 20 after finding this: 83 is a 1928 Morris Commercial 1 Ton Lorry, managed to find some better pictures of it after running the plate through DVLA and finding that it's actually quite an active vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 81 might not be a Trojan after all! In the images for 83 I found this. That's a Morris Commerical LC5. mercrocker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 95 has a US Ford Escort/Mercury Lynx look about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 91 is a Pontiac - a 1965 model, probably a low-spec like Catalina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I think the Volvo is a 544 as for the others - Junkman is yer man when it comes to those US customs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The wheels on 95, the double fronted police car, make me think it's made of Fox Body Mustangs. Definitely Ford anyway. 97 is a custom Corvette C1. The pink car is definitely an Alto, and I agree that the first one is mostly likely a variation of Wagon R.

quicksilver Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 76 - the bus on the right (DBC 190C) is actually an AEC Renown rather than a Regent V. They both used the same grille and cowling but the Renown had a lower floor. This one has an East Lancs body and was new to Leicester City Transport. Confusingly the one on the left is a Regent V but has the older style of exposed radiator that some customers preferred. Eddie Honda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 97 is Bob Joas' 57 Vette.After he had an accident, he took it to Bertolucci's shop in Sacramento and had it completely redone.It was subsequently shown at the 1960 Oakland Roadster Show.

Junkman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 84 is fellow Autoholics member Jack Fields' Starliner.Jack is also co-owner of Starlite Rod & Kustoms in Torrance.He made a similar car for Erik Hernandez from a 1960 Olds Dynamic 88 they call "Starfire". Get it? You should have seen the cars before Jack unleashed his talent on them.They were literally dragged out of the desert sand, bullet holes and all. Jack also does a lot of work for Rick Dore, who also has all his customs built from total rubbish,because he can't stomach to cut up a good car. The whole lot is a bunch of total heroes. chaseracer and vulgalour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 98 is Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle of Addison's "Kosmic Outcast" which was built from the remains of a 1940 Ford Pick Up. It's pretty radical in every aspect. It won 'best of' at the 2013 SEMA. Again, you wouldn't believe the smashed up, rusted, bullet hole riddled wreck they started with. chaseracer, vulgalour, mercrocker and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 I love that green truck even more! The details on that are just spot on. It makes it even better knowing these cars started out as wrecks too, the amount of work that must have gone into them boggles the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The Kosmic Outcast has some serious engineering going on as well.It's built around a spaceframe they fabricated from scratch a couple of hundred Quids worth of steel tubing.

busmansholiday Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Sorry to be late and picky, but No 76, the bus on the right is actually an East Lancs bodied AEC Renown, not a Regent. This was AEC's low floor version of the Regent that could be bodied by anybody and was their answer to the Bristol Lodecker after the semi integral Bridgemaster built by them and Park Royal didn't sell that well. vulgalour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
