But doesn't burning fibreglass give off toxic fumes? That would be a greater danger to your health than the eye damage from seeing the thing.

I like the colour, though.

Everything else? Not so much.

Many years back my Dad created a Reliant pick out an estate version. He only ever had a motorbike licence.

Neat.

The FD Ventora wheel covers are a nice touch.

Camped near this at the 2CV World Meeting at Kelso in 2005.  It was being used to transport stock for a die-cast model trader.

Thanks for that, I knew I recognised them, I just couldn't place what they were!

Similar shaped trucks are used for dragging roadwork signs about but the lack of anything to stop the load falling off is what makes it so useless.
