Is that the real ID badge? It looks like it was made using one of those penny squashing machines on Blackool pier.

The engine turns slightly with a spanner on the crankshaft nut

What's the steering wheel from, I wonder? Can't quite make out the blacked out logo...

Cheaper and more convenient than buying a car, a boat and a trailer.  Good value too, I'd imagine.

*Checks price

£27k for half a Jimny with mkiv Golf headlights glued in?

It actually looks like it’s driving through about 18” of water rather than floating.

Maybe it’s just a flooded car park cropped to look like the sea or  river.

You'd so have to call that Busby?

I worked with a bloke called Paul Busby. His dad was a supervisor  in customer relations at BT when that campaign ran. I think he spent most of the 80’s explaining to irate customers who asked to “speak to the manager” that he wasn’t taking the piss.

I'd rather have the Carlton, but I reckon, for example, the current BMW M5 might be quicker. Or the Cadillac CT5-V. Quite a few saloons, in fact

That, in my inexpert opinion, is a fair price. Even if it does need a bit of fettling. 

If anyone needs me to drive it back to civilization from Kernow I'd do it for pez money and a Twix

I think my Dad owned that car in 1986 and I learnt to drive in it. We lived in About 2 miles away from Par when we sold it so could be same car.

Jesus fucking Christ, those harnesses on those seats are a good way to turn a minor accident into permanent paralysis. Utterly, unbelievably stupid

Were these the ones with the talking dash? A girlfriend had one but I thought the dash looked a bit more digital than that one. 
Could never understand what it was trying to say
