I agree - the headlights have definitely been replaced.

Hi Dave.

I guess it depends on your reason for purchasing it.

If you are after something unique, then OK,

but unique original. ?

Barge poles and not touching spring to mind on first glance.

An interesting interpretation of the term 'people carrier' but somehow I doubt it'll catch on like the Espace did. I'm wondering why the er.... 'coachbuilder' put an opening windscreen on it, not enough through-flow ventilation I suppose.

Mmmm can't say I like that at all, it looks like a collision between a '30s Austin and a narrow boat. Perhaps made for a fun fair and used to ferry members of the public around at an event of some kind?

I doubt an 1800 diesel would be in period either (ex Sherpa?)

Each to their own but quite revolting to me - sorry!

I'd be a little cautious as to the ability of what appear to be Austin wire
wheels and hubs to carry the load or deal with the torque of the engine
even if the axle managed.

I am surprised it is still registered as a 1936 Austin as it appears there is little of the original vehicle left. Absolutely horrid.

Interesting...I'd prefer an original one, but it's certainly unique Smile

Thank goodness, the possibility there may be more than one of these monstrosities around doesn't bear thinking about Shocked

Hi

Thanks to all of those who were polite, I did post it as a bit of a joke, as it isn't my cup of tea either! hehe Smile
