Had a quick look into Google, and am pretty sure it's a 1925 Dodge. Must be worth a fair bit to someone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55bloke Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The pic that convinced me - the grille shape, headlights, and the mouldings on the inner surfaces of the fenders, all match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I love the trims on that clubman! When I see a Mini like that in a nice 70s colour and totall standard loking, it makes me think that I'd actually really like to own one at some point.

Jon Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Nice update Rab. Looking beyond the yawnfest that usually associates seeing a personalised Beetle, I'm actually quite attracted to that one, especially the red detailing. Not a fan of the front bumper treatment, but meh. And I'm not quite sure what I'd have done had I actually seen that Hyundai in the metal EPIC!

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 first series Green Cloverleaf with the fishnet headrest and best dash of the lot. Only 5 known survivors in UK. Bloody hell, only five? I had a silver one back in 1994. I bought it in Thame for £150 with a buggered slave cylinder, got it back on the road and hooned about in it for a while - before selling it to a guy who broke it up to yse the running gear in a Minari. I was never a fan of the 33 (Sudboiz aren't) but that was the best of the bunch. It went well and sounded lovely. It had TRX wheels iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Re. LDVs in NZ, I seem to remember that an LDV Ambulance used to prominently feature in the title sequence to one of the excellent NZ medical dramas that used to grace UK daytime television. Having better things to remember has caused me to forget the name of that particular series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
