There used to be a silver one of these at a car sale garage in freemantle in Southampton. It sort of drew you in.

I'm going back a few year mind. Don't think they are thier now.

It looks quite well made to be honest but it is never in a million years going to get an MOT is it lol,

What Chassis Numbers / Reg number would it use for MOT / Tax / Insurance and also there are no rear lights or rear plates lol.

Still be good fun I think to take round a track with two of you in it lol

perhaps that was the only 2 fords they had laying around, biggest unusual thing is lack of rust

There's a Rover 75 in South Wales somewhere like this. I've seen it twice on the M50 and once on the M4 around Newport on a Q plate. Must be a way of getting through the mot!

Great if you break down though! You just jump in the other side and carry on using the other engine!

being a old git loads of people used to do this when the custom car scene was rife in the 70s/80s, simply a way of showing off their welding skills back then but side effect was cut n shuts appearing lol
