This thing again.

I'd think a Crayford is like a high end quality product compared to this creation of someone with a saw and a tent.

Used to be a guy in Swansea who cut the roof off a Jag xj40 kind of thing (think it may have actually been a really early Jag V12 saloon) back in the 90's. If memory serves me he had a nightclub or was a DJ something like that. It was always full of party girls driving around the Kingsway at 3 in the morning 🤣🤣🤣.

I think me and my mates spoke to him once and he was a really nice bloke but looked seriously off it on pills or whatever 🤣🤣🤣. Burgundy coloured from memory.

Thinking about it anywhere bloke who lived just round the corner from me cut the roof off his 2dr really early range rover 😭😭😭😭.

He did drive it for years though to be fair so it can't have been too bad a job.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fair point. They were all of going out age though I suspect, but then looking back most of the boys in my year were out at 15 and the girls a good year earlier 😬😬😬😬.

TBH, it's so cheap 'one' probably could get the head gasket done, assuming that's actually what's wrong and not head cracked or something, use the air con luxury to drive to French shitefest and get your money back at summer's end. Gotta dream.

(I'm on a roll here 🤣)

OOF!

That looks like the 100LWB 6 stud heavyweight version, which allegedly had a better diff so it'd pull to pretty impressive (for the day) top speeds.

One of my first work vans was a pre smiley di lwb. Considering this was about 2002 it was quite bolloxed already. Loved it.

It's one I've watched my friend Andreas build.  Even better, I've helped him with it, my fingerprints are all over it!

Ended today at £14900, and apparently, Sold.  As Escorts go, that was cheap!  Funny old world...

Had my eye on that for a while, it was featured on this thread IIRC about a year ago as a garage find on facebook for £  not a lot. To be fair to the vendor, they have since done a lovely job letting in metal to the rotten arches and respraying them, amongst other things, and recommissioning it. It had been up for £3750 but now £3k or offer.

Didn't think the X was available until the facelift.
