No engine or gearbox and needs lots of welding!
You'd have to be a real Vanguard fan.

Hi
I wonder if that is genuine or a cut about Ensign.
I know wiki isn't always accurate, but it says:-
| Quote: | Called a pickup truck in the UK, this version had modest sales there, but the main purchaser was the RAF, who had them in Phase I and II form.
In 1950, the Australian subsidiary of the Standard Motor Company introduced a Coupé utility version of the Vanguard Phase I. It was fitted with the same 2088 cc four cylinder engine as used in the saloon.[20] Utility versions of the Vanguard were produced in Australia over the following years[21] with production ending in 1964.[22]

Can't make up my mind whether they mean that they stuck with the earlier body or they kept up with the car body changes. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
