The "WTF is that?" thread

[Skizzer]

That looks like a E-Type rear window, so I assume the running gear had the same donor. Probably in the mid/late 70s when they were worth buttons.

What Skizzer said...

Looks like a Kellison but not sure which model. On this one it looks like the roof sort of lifts up as well, J4 and J5 apparently have different doors to make access easier. I think they started as early as 1959 doing allsorts of weird stuff using a fair bit of English engines and parts

Does anyone have any info on this? Some sought of hotted-up Golf:

It's well done, it just doesn't look right. I think it's the lights that spoil it.

[bunglebus]

Interesting - works for me, anyone care to guess the original vehicle?

A customised Granada Cardinal hearse.

Oh, okay, it's a Capranada! A difficult transplant, especially as the Granada is significantly wider than the Capri, and nicely done but it does seem to be an entirely pointless exercise. Dead weird.

Ideal shagging wagon if you pick up a goth bird.

Spotted this today but WTF is it? I do know but only because the owner/builder told me.

some sort of filming rig vehicle of some kind is my best guess

Something along the lines of a haflinger

I wonder if that grille came off a Jag S-type?

[SteersWithThrottle]

I'd go along with that

Both good guesses but it isn't either of those things. It's nowhere near finished so I guess it was a bit cruel asking for guesses when it's just a frame. It's actually a Discovery chassis rebuilt to forward-control and being built up as an expedition camper. The chap created it as a cheaper alternative to a 101 and a lot of fiddly work has been done but he reckons it's still over a year from completion.

Anyone know what the grey car is, JDM import obviously. Is it a Mitsubishi?

[bramz7]

Nissan Laurel C33 I think.

That's the one, infact it might be this very car:

Mileage on mot and import year checks out, the disposable camera probably didn't capture it's colour very well.

Do alerts remain, even if a post is deleted?

Only one way to find out - I just quoted you then deleted the post

Bit hard to tell.  Triumph Herald...?

Citroen Traction?  Quite neatly done, but why?  

[loserone]

I must be missing something, all I can see is a Porsche 911 for the people

Any military experts on here? I saw this in 2017 but haven't yet managed to identify it.
