Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

From the description of the video, it appears to be for sale. Wonder how much such a thing could be, and whether it’s enough to make a re-spray on top a trivial matter. I’ve loved the car since a family friend had one in a navy blue colour. I think if anything that would add to the sleeper factor.

Why do I keep looking at this?

What is your favourite engine?

Is it the Lampredi v12 or the twin cam? Cosworth BDA? DVF? Busso twin cam?

You'd certainly have no issues with a whistling sound at 70 with that.

Needs this treatment!

It is lovely though...

I’ve ordered a registration plate surround from a breakers to experiment on

that is lovely. get it.
and hope the reg plate is properly buttoned down

They look fun.

They are £much

Funny how these things go, my old flatmate had a perfect '73 bay window Westfalia camper and ten years ago he couldn't get £8k for it... I wonder if he's still got it, bound to be worth a bundle now... Brilliant things when they actually work...

Just get this for OG awaydays

That one looks to be the real deal though, a syncro double cab. It's the dream T25 (unless you want an air cooled one of course).

That is the very rare 4x4 double cab.

Still rate the t25 diesel highly, a builder mate abused his for 6-8 years and he does not look after the vehicles and even the head gasket went and he really cooked it.

Was fine with a new head gasket.

Is the 1st part of the panoramic roof a backwards Beetle?

Yup.

Gives great mpg too

Some testing on the M3 and A3 today reveals:

• My roof rack (without bike) costs around 4mpg, holding me at 21.2 where it'd normally be 26/27
  
• I really want the new breadvan Ferrari (which I followed for some time heading back into London)
  
• BMW 530d's are not as fast as they think they are
  

The GTC4 Lusso is fucking lovely.

One in the queue for the eurotunnel on Friday on my way back from France.

Want.

Just snapped it cos it looked rad in a silly lifted dub kinda way. The subtlety was lost on me but, as before, looked fun.

What colour for the matching luggage?

Some serious paint going on there.

Could someone make this a little cheaper please?

Go have a look, tell them what you want to pay, leave them with your offer and see what they say.
