My neighbour mentioned he might want to sell his smiley face transit , it's a N reg with a high roof , 2.5 turbo diesel engine in it , looks really rough on the body but has 12 months test on it

 

Are they collectible yet

[eddyramrod]

Not as "collectible" as CFs!

That fugly black thing is really summert else! It can't be coincidence that its name is 'Mervyn' backwards surely.

I'm guessing a £16,000 milk float has quite a limited buyers market , the plate must be worth a bit though if it's included

Every time I see a milk float I keep thinking of Pat Mustard

That fugly black thing is really summert else! It can't be coincidence that its name is 'Mervyn' backwards surely.

Yes there's no coincidence it's Mervyn Backwards! It was designed by a fella in Weston-super-Mare by the name of Mervyn Edwards... who with the backing of a few people came up with the Nyvrem. This black one I believe was the first car.

By all rights although it was a strange looking thing it drove very well.. and car number 2 which is the car that was used in all the promo bumph became a rally car after it had its V6 replaced with a highly tuned Pinto.

It reappeared for Sale a couple of years back in Germany of all places looking like this

Although it's claimed that only 3 were made, a further yellow coupe was built

and also a convertible which of course could be the one and the same car with the roof chopped off.

 

This was discovered and sold on ebay a few years ago looking like this..

I can remember seeing the white car in the flesh at a Kit car show in Butlins in Barry in 1986.They were as interesting to look at shall we say in the flesh.. as they were in the photographs!

It's good to see that black one is still going strong!

Check this brown beauty out:

 

 

Double dipping the scene points by being a VW AND JDMYO - this one was manufactured in Japan, by Nissan. I've seen this one in the metal and have witnessed the Nissan VIN in the engine bay.

 

 

 

Slightly interesting spec to meet Japanese tax rules of the time - info available on wikipedia.

YO Mr_B, if you're after a crusty camper, you need to come to the crusty traveller epicentre, aka NZ:

 

 

Literal crusties in this pic^^^^^^!!!!

 

 

 

 

That said, despite the panto backdrop exterior, it's not too shabby indoors, IMO. A bit too much 'Indian fabrics with those shiny metal circles sewn in' for my liking. And I do hate the smell of josticks too, I must admit.

Check out this home built mother:

 

 

 

Whaaaaaaaaaat?

 

 

 

 

 

Resplendent with the owner's crap, natch.

 

 

 

CF's sold here came with optional 202 ci (3.3L) motors but this one rocks 2.3 slant four POWER*. Excellent choice.

Oooh, I wonder how much this will go for?!

 

 

 

Is there a better example of factory fitted stripes? 

 

 

Wondrous!

The inside of that CF camper reminds me of Michael Madsen's trailer in 'Kill Bill'

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

holy mackerel, this thing has a petrol engine

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bedford-TL750-Horse-Lorry-carries-3-Horse-Petrol/332557343833

 

I might be wrong but it looks like its not a tilt cab so you're stuck with a carb, points and 10mpg. Skilful use of a horse as a letter 'R' there too

[Mr_Bo11ox]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dodge-50-Mk-2-1990/282851697563

 

This came up for 'sale' on the Dodge 50 FB group recently. Sold by a dithery-sounding woman who gave the impression that getting out of bed and standing up straight was a commitment she just wasnt in a position to make at the moment. Someone asked how much she wanted for it. Predictably she could not help him, and instead asked him to "stop playing hardball with her and lets just leave it at that"

 

 

Unfortunately, I've just lost the keys

 

Someow that doesnt surprise me

 

Looks like a life's work squaring this up. Are these a monocoque or separate chassis?
