Be reasonable!
After all, it has got 2 gearboxes, one manual and one auto.

[Johnspex]

AND it's avoided going up any mountains in winter!
no colder climbs (sic)

[Turbobanana]

AND it "has been recommission with a new fuel tank and fuel pump". So there.

Anyway, spot the parts bin bits. I'll start:

VW Beetle front indicators

This CMC is being offered again for Auction owing to an overseas buyer failing to complete his purchase sobering up from our March Auction.

Tidy interior.
Coded entry.
Engine needs attention
Don't Zoom in on the bootlid (Trunk).

Derek at Mathewsons would be dribbling over this.
"Well it is a classic, not many of them about, just needs a bit of weekend work. Its a bit top heavy, but I can see it doing £10K".
(It might have to go through a few times before it went to the owner... unless the restoration team buys it.)

Bet it smells how it looks. st.

What are these colder climbs, and were crampons required?

Why don't these sellers employ an average 13 year old to check their spelling? Cheap and would be an improvement!

One of the worst looking cars I have seen for a while! Looks like something from the wacky racers or from the Munster family

Was trying to work out the skuttle/A Pillars/ screen/ roof/doors. Looks to be all one vehicle which would make sense if any sense was used in it's creation.

Needs more chandelier.

That's very impressive. Someone's taken the idea of the terminally fugly Excalibur - and made it worse. Maximum points.

Somebody go back in time and give the 80's a good slap!

oh that's brilliant!

[crofty1984]

I like it. I mean, I wouldn't want it, but I like that someone made it, even if it is a bit st. At least it's not boring.

I can hear "The Duke Arrives" , very fitting!! Its cars like these that made Leepu believe he could make it as a car designer!

The Beaufort used a mini body on a ladder chassis to produce a similar-looking car. They are oftwn used for weddings. It looks like somone took the idea a stage further by using an American Ford body to produce something bigger and bolder.
