Whatever happened to Meccano does anyone know? I used to get piles of it at Christmas when I was younger - waaaay back when it was still OK to get non pre-assembled toys with small bits and sharp edges - you know - before it somehow got decreed that anyone under the age of 13 that came within 6 yards of a toy that wasn't jelly-moulded, would end up in casualty with both their eyes skewered like olives onto anything with a radius less than 50 centimeters, and their intestinal tract crammed with all the remaining bits that wouldn't fit into their ears and arse - or those of any nearby sibling.

• sigh* Even Lego's shite these days.

Back in the 70s, we had a Transit with a 2 litre Felday tuned V4. Boy was it good, especially around the 'Ring. Roll oversteer slides everywhere.
Towed double deck trailer, two cars, spares etc etc - simply wonderful handling rig, storming drive!

Looks like the kind of thing used for attracting small boys in the 70's.

"Would you like to come and see the toys in the back of my van.

Including the subliminal "ged in" message on the number plate. Clever trick, that........
