If you check the URL of the photo, you'll see it's from this site.

QuoteThis vehicle is my first effort in converting Land Rovers. It's built on a 90 chassis and it has the 'centre-steer' method of steering! All the panels are hand-made with the most basic of tools, for example, a Grinder, Drill, Scaffold pipes for bending & the old favourites, the Hammer & Anvil.

This vehicle is a pleasure to drive & puts a smile on my face on each & every outing. It is powered by a Ford 3 Litre Petrol Engine and 90 Box - the power is wicked!

Found this on a link from the Airfix forum, but I know absolutely NOTHING about it, other than that it's glorious!  :wub:



EDIT: actually, I do know one thing about it: the boxes on the back are Craven fibreglass motorcycle panniers! ;D

A Bentley? :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

And why not? It's big, green, got a six cyilnder engine, spats on the wheels and it probably goes like crazy!  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

apparently an ex-ambulance from the Royal Navy ... bit of scratch-building for a model tho
you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

Definitely a Blower Bently for the bloke who can't afford one!
