Well that's me well and truly soul sucked! 
I like that Renault convertible, but wouldn't admit to this on any of the other car fora that I visit so please forget that I wrote that.
I did once go to view a Dalek replica that was on eBay, it was based on Austin Allegro mechanicals and was far too big to be a real Dalek. I walked away as it was quite unsuitable for daily use in spite of being described as an ideal town car. I do, however, have a blue box, one that has wheels and a Toyota badge on the back door. It's similar to the real thing but is much larger on the outside than on the inside, so not quite as useful in that sense as there's nowhere to put an Olympic sized swimming pool on board and not even a place to store my collection of bow ties, Fezes, long scarves and trade size jars of jelly babies. Time Lord? Nah, not me mate, too much like hard work and one heart is enough to be worrying about for now.

at the time? Or was this an a calculated attempt at martyrdom? 
Is that an official Citroen thing or an incredibly well thought out DIY attempt to make the van look less like a corrugated outbuilding? I'm loving what they've done with the place and all it needs to make it perfect is, IMHO, a modern engine with automatic transmission, a bit of a tidy up inside and a repaint, better yet, a wrap, in bright orange metallic with graduated leopard spots fading toward the top..
