the previous owner to me had it since 1985 !

 

 

As you can see, it is now a lowered rat look, with period roof rack and brand new (less than a week old) alloys and tyres.

[Junkman]

Oh wow!

An opportunity to buy a Ghostbusters car Ecto 1

 

 

Great for shows, weddings, film events or just as a daily driver.

 

Actually it's terminally shit for all of this.

The scary bit:

 

[inconsistant]

How about a welder that might be broken with some gas bottles that might be empty?

I have no idea if it works... two possibly empty gas bottles

[Schaefft]

Here's a car that if it doesn't get exported back to the uk is going to end up scrapped

If that's worth 8k then Huggy must be worth 12!

Knew I'd seen it before, can't be many of these left.

 

Previously lived on a side street near the hospital in Torquay, so it's gone a long way to Cambridge. MOT history is interesting (good).

Jeez, is that a lath-&-plaster roof on a vehicle? No wonder it's all gone a bit crumbly. Never seen that before. Times must have been really hard for the toffs with their horses back in 1947.

 

Wonder what's inside the back. Seller says he hasn't opened the boards yet. There's room in there for 3 horses. And a groom.

 

Surprise!!!

The scary bit:

 

SCARYVAN gives me the creeps and it has this painted on the back. Would you trust your kids with these people? The kid on the left's already sustained an irreversible injury.

 

 

It's like something out of a "Charley Says Run Like Fuck" TV ad.

[adw1977]

I like the way the metal door handle looks like a spike poking out of the red thing that the kid on the left is playing on.

[Junkman]

Looks like a gigantic Dynamite Stick.

And no, I wouldn't let my children play with Boris Johnson wearing a pink turtleneck.

[JeeExEll]

I find this image quite disturbing. I hope it's not meant to represent the driver or someone who supervises the kids while they're playing.

 

 

 

Note, steel plate over the door-window.

Screw heads are on the outside to prevent escape from within.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Jesus did Stephen King paint that van or something

[JeeExEll]

Aaaargh. It gets worse, much worse. This is not good. I zoomed into one of the pics and this is the passenger front door.

Vincents were actually a high quality coachbuilder - the roof probably had a stretched leather-cloth fabric type of covering.   

[JeeExEll]

^^ Aye. I remember reading about fabric on whole car bodies and on planes, but especially car centre-roof panels. It's now on my "to read about" list, how it was done, materials used, further links, etc. Will check out Vincents.

 

Initially I thought thin sheet steel may have been formed over the wooden curves on the horsebox roof. (obv not L&P !). Leathercloth early post-war makes sense.

Interesting old vehicle.

[tooSavvy]

^^^^ we can all see where the Triumph Herald 'no sills' but MOTd comes from...

 

Chassis First/fabric screwed on
