Atlantic car sales is in Hayle, West Cornwall, so a bit far down West for the Atlantic coast highway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yeee-haah! That's some comedy cowboying on the front end, you'd have thought with the amount of old Trafics that have left the road in recent years that obtaining a decent set of used headlamps and indicators would be much less hassle than bodging some 7 inch Lucas jobs into place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGav Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 You should of seen the poor old Master van we had at the truck garage i used to work at. One day, one of the mechanics had a prang on the way into work, smashing the o/s headlight to bits. Only problem was there was a breakdown to attend to by the time he got into work, and we had no spare lamps for it. So out came a trusty Lucas round lamp, and a few cable ties! You should of seen the look on the blokes face when we turned up to fix his motor, one rectangle light, one round one! Proffesional or what?!

bigstraight6 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 A few choice cuts from the last few weeks, starting off with this thing!The owner of this Marina seemed ashamed at being photographed behind the wheel of his steed and drove off Mouldy CFRover P5B for £1395 didn't look to appealing on closer inspection This A60 in a nice colour scheme was on the same forecourtOh wow man, check out this Woodstock survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2_craig Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Great stuff!! Lovin that truck, reminds me of a tattie merchant in the Edinburgh that had a P-reg TK and a Y-reg TL when I was living there, remarkable longevity in my book. If I owned the D-series I'd soon doctor the legend above the windscreen to read "FORD FUMES, GOOD HEALTH" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 There's a company in Kirkcaldy that uses a D-Series flatbed. I think it's a D plate, certainly 60s and I'm sure they've had it from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstraight6 Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 love the reg on that fruit and veg wagonGreat Isn't it, an original Cornish reg number as is one on the A60, Cornish folk love a Cornish reg number as you see loads of recent vehicles running about the County with such reg numbers, its amazing what they pay for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompo Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 99% sure that this is a Scamp: Kit Car (no, really!) based on a Mini. Used to be incredibly cheap.. About 15 years ago (when I was 10) I used to really want one! Company is still going, and it's I think it's safe to say that the vehicle(s) offered now can still be classed as shite - and embarrassingly still appealing to me. http://www.scampmotorcompany.co.uk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
