1988 Renault 5 Extra Wheelchair Van - It All Made Sense At The Time

[vulgalour]

Well.

Here we go again.  It all made perfect sense at the time.  You know, before it broke and was on an unattended recovery because there's absolutely no way my health will allow me to wait in the cold for [insert period of time here] because the vehicle in question is [insert ridiculous amount of distance away here] and I need to get back home for work.  It will now be delivered to my home within five working days.

I had it all planned out, and back up plans, and thank goodness for that because I had to use them.

I'll tell you what it is when it gets here...

There's a tiny handful of people who know what it is, the rest of you are free to guess.

 

One clue: It's not a Rover P4

Rover P6.

[Stanky]

Its the electric Rover R8 isn't it? And the plan fell apart because three of the Halfords battery chargers in the boot had got damp in them and wouldn't charge properly, reducing your range between charges from 12 miles to 8. 😁😁😁

And the 5 working days is because the AA refused to tow it, but are contractually bound to recover it to a place of your choosing - so the AA recovery man has to drive it from Swindon to Newcastle, leap-frogging the Rover and his caddy van between tacho breaks?

Do I win a prize?

is this where this is a "Trick question" a Trick clue if you will, and you have somehow managed to wrangle JET1 from the Science museum?  

[vulgalour]

I can tell you it's not an AX, I like them just not the driving position.  Nor is it a P6, another favourite of mine, nor JET1.

@Stanky gets internet points for making me belly laugh.

It's the new JLR general support and recovery vehicle.  There are three of them, recovering each other endlessly.

Personally, I'm guessing a Citroen BX.

[DSdriver]

Citroen GS?

[2flags]

Don't tell me, you bought something from HMC? Was it his Lada?

[Spiny Norman]

One of the Citroen Visas?

Anybody else think that if you painted one pink extended the front & put 4 wheels there, you  could turn  a Mk10 into a passable FAB 1 rip off ?

[EyesWeldedShut]

CX 'Safari'

[Stinkwheel]

Rover P5 (as its not a P4 or P6)

[MAF260]

Soviet beige contraption with a multitude of lighting?

[vulgalour]

It looks like I was beginning to get predictable.  Fortunately it is none of the above nor is it from the HMC collection so I still retain my air of mystery/misery.

Well it's certainly better looking than the pink abomination they've shown as the concept car.

JLR have a reputation for showing concepts that they insist aren't going into production.

Until they do...

Edit- sorry @vulgalour for thread drift

What's this? Is it for sale somewhere? Very neat.

And there are probably some for sale in Norway if you want a long and painful road trip.

Wow, an Xsara Picasso I don't hate! I didn't think I'd ever say something like that!

I'll go with something more modern, so Rover 45?
