Reminds me of the 1960s dentist that traumatised my teeth for ever.

A hemi 6 with twin carbs is a nice engine for a van.

That Commer Walk-Through is actually a rare camper version - I remember it being for sale before - someone had spent ££££s getting some proper wheels made for it IIRC.
It would be great to make it back to a camper but far more work than I could do.
Last time it was for sale they were asking bazillions for it as well.

True - but it's a bit like complaining about the banger racers - if no-one else wanted it.......

I've a lot less time for fuzz-faced hipsters than I have the banger fraternity. I get you on the nobody wants it syndrome, though. If I had a quid for every "I'd have bloody bought that..."

Is anybody getting a new pair of BravePants for Christmas ?
A no reserve Bentley might test them to the limit, on £900 at the moment

It is apparently buggered from a reversed polarity jump start attempt.
Salvage rebuilds took on a newer model Bentley damaged in the same way
Part 1

Part 2 (still not running -Cranks, Fires and dies immobilizer issues)

Got to be worth £2k hasn't it, I note it doesn't say if it had run since they tried jumping it the wrong way round or if it was running before.
