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.

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.

The interweb bought up these bits.

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.

eBay stuff: Lexus LS400 Allard

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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 .
