I have seen these two a few times. I saw the shed in Chippy a few weeks ago. The driver was very happy with all the attention and questions. His wife seemed a little less happy...



First pic - I expected to see his feet sticking out of the bottom of that!

2nd - Proper shed!

There is a cadburys Creme Egg car not far from me, must see if I can get a pic next time I pass by.

This is a variant of the Hoover Constellation car - not quite as I remember it but this could be a French interpretation.



This is the Outspan Orange car



Also...

I saw George Barris's "Snakepit" parked-up in Chislehurst about 3 years ago. Sadly, I didn't have a camera.

(Though it was on a trailer.)



Edited to add that I think it has 6 V8 engines.

A Pikes Peak spec Audi Sport Quattro being driven around a town in Germany.

It was taking part in a historic rallye festival but seeing it driven on the street was surreal.

There are several Creme Egg cars at the Cadbury World museum in Birmingham - I think they are based on Mini chassis, as is the Outspan Orange.

A friend of mine saw this on the motorway a couple of weeks ago (not his video) - wish I'd seen it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbdSRin8yMU

No pics unfortunately but about 10 years ago I saw a McLaren F1 replica at a classic auction that was as crazy as it was tragic. Based on (if memory serves) a Rover 827, it was exactly like a F1 bar a few minor details such as
Still front engined
Still fwd
Interesting front bench seat arrangement, made from old sofa
Auto
Proportions for body measured from a Pound Shop F1 type child's toy.
Rover Metro alloys

A tragic tale, designed and built by one man, many £k in when he realised that, due to aforementioned proportions, no off the shelf windscreen would fit and the costs of making one at that time were prohibitive. Offered with no reserve, no sale. No surprise, it was hopping.

The Ed China driving a sofa down the motorway in about 1998.

Even had a coffee table in front of it.
