eBay tat volume 3.

Why the fuck do people bother? that LDV would make a much better camper if you just slung an old mattress on the floor in the back. If you need a piss, just open the sliding door and piss directly out of it, that's what about 90% of people do anyway.

[warch]

I prefer to comply with public decency laws by using the offside rear wheel (wees only). That said I did catch one of my colleagues standing behind his work caddy pissing into it through the rear doors.

I remember this half arsed Allard resurrection attempt. I think there were two or three different ones, unless they just made one and swapped wheels and light treatments.

Looks a bit like @vulgalour could have made it, but just not as well executed as his Princess.

[Soundwave]

I'm getting hints of X-Type and Bristol Fighter, with a base note of Lexus and a not insignificant dash of Bernie and Leepu.

That Lexus-Allard thing was brilliantly ambitious as a thing to bring to market, a properly niche thing.  Allard P4 is the thing to look for, there were a few prototypes that survived, one made it to road legal status, one was crashed, this might be the last of the prototypes and being a Lexus underneath how hard can it really be to sort out?

They at least stayed true to Allard by making the styling weird but not in a fun way.

Or a shit, just drop your keks and give everyone a full moon through the rear window. Its not even a high roof so good luck standing up afterwards, you'll have to 'fall forwards' and crawl away off the friggin Frank Zappa FFS

You've all missed the point.

Shirley you open the rear doors and crap alfresco. 

I wonder if it open 270 degrees so you are perched on the side of the van, legs a dangling.

Supposedly only three produced and two scrapped. This ebay one looks different to the the one in the articles.

This one is from flickr same reg different  in details to the two shown in the above links.

If you focus hard enough on the interior shots, you can actually smell the mould.

I'm confused by their plan. All i can see they did it make some LS400's uglier then more than likely expected more money for them. I wonder if they had long term plans to supercharge them or something as I think that's a bit of al Allard specialty.

I sometimes wonder how these people that think they’re going to reinvent a great British brand managed to make the money they will inevitably spunk on their vanity projects.

Jensen

Railton

currently Lister are turning up the boost on modern Jags sticking their name on them and expecting people to pay £15000 for a £70,000 car. Wonder if the logbook says Lister or Jaguar?

At least the Allard bollocks only wasted the cost of 3 LS400s, a bit of Wob and some coach tail lights.

A business plan that works well for Mitsuoka.

[vulgalour]

Not gonna lie, I'd totally have a Railton F29 Claremont if I could afford/find one, I reckon that's a really sharp looking car even if it is little more than an old Jag in a posh frock.

[barrett]

Check this out!

Not much info (like, that it doesn't have an MoT) but...

Kinda feel like I need to make a matching pair

I bought one like that from the auctions in about 2001 - it was a manual and not mouldy but otherwise pretty much identical.  I paid £30 for it.

What the frig is that inlet manifold it's totally different from the one on mine?

 

Mine looks like this

[sheffcortinacentre]

Is it the 2.8 version?

[BlankFrank]

The throttle cable thing and vacuum line coming out of it tells me its a cruise control box on top of the original mani. Probably.

[barefoot]

A rather pretty little Civic spotted on another forum.

1.3 auto, 1981, 54k apparently superb - but £4k so well out of my league.

The whole inlet manifold looks different as does the rocker covers. I wondered if it had a 4.0 Explorer cologne engine fitted?

[Asimo]

Terrible pictures, but my kind of Cadillac: two doors, front wheel drive, column "shift", cloth seats. And probably easy* to keep mpg over 20.  

Using man-maths it could also be considered "affordable" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CADILLAC-FLEETWOOD-COUPE/143836487649?hash=item217d529fe1:g:tNwAAOSwuDBfrCbD

In donkeys years of tatting about with old Fords, I've never seen a Cologne with that inlet

[Wack]

If i saw this parked with a £700 sticker on it , not in the window obviously , i'd probably drive past it but 7k , really , is that anything like what they're worth

I wonder if the for sale sign has anything to do with the van sale , I want 1/2 the house , you can do what you like with that .
