John emailed me some photos of this unusual device, seen at a show not so long ago. It is badged up as a Trojan, even on the engine, but looks more like a homebuilt using a commercial chassis to me (note the airlines at the rear going to the trailer). The proportions, wheelsizes, dumb irons on the roof all suggest it being a one-off to me. Does anyone know anything about this vehicle? a check on the RAC site with this reg. no. just brings up a date of 1959, another hint that perhaps it utilises a commercial chassis beneath the bodywork..?

A car like this always reminds me of the one that Ian Carmichael bought in the film 'School for Scoundrels', the 'Swift Special'!

Hi

The airlines are weird, and the size of the thing! Shocked

Cheers
