Mmm, isn't that just a P4 with the roof cut off and the usual piston engine still in it? Looks like an abandoned replica project.

Me and this fella often pass on our commutes - which results in me having that bloody John Shuttleworth song stuck in my head a lot more often than I would like.

What, you mean "Austin Ambassador A Reg"?

From the LandCruiser group, a dodgy mcdodgefuck LandCruiser

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Amazon-vx80-automatic-/255231867117?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

Chap on the group had gone to see it, welded over VIN plates and other nasty things. Comes complete with sob story of selling for a sick friend who's in Istanbul.

Oh, and DON'T TRY IT ON TO HAGGLE.

Nah, the Lagonda wheels are the same wheels as S3 XJ pepperpots - they take 205/70/15.

My thoughts also. They've probably ruined a perfectly good P4 in the process.

Well he calls himself 'kingsharky' so I wonder what that means for his personality...

That's mild compared to a Bond Minicar which has some serious distortions!

Yep, that's just ruined an exceedingly rare and potentially quite valuable car. I'd love a 52-54 P4 (definitely 'peak P4') but I can only recall seeing one other for sale in the last few years. The world really, really doesn't need yet another JET1 replica.

It seems 75% of custom projects never get beyond the stage of ruining the donor car.

I suspect it's because most people who think they're viable have no concept of how much work it requires, much less the smarts to actually build something functional.

See also, all the cars where an engine swap went as far as binning the original powerplant and then realising it doesn't fit and none of the original drivetrain is going to work with it. "All the hrd wrk alredy dun, ez project"
