The ultimate car transporter? (in need of restoration)

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I would be tempted if i had £4500 to spare but then if i spent that much money on it i think the other half would make me sleep in it!

They don't say what team. Could it be faded Tyrrell blue :?:

I remember a Yorkshire farmer, George Tatham, used to hillclimb an ex Can Am McLaren. He had an old bus, with doors in the back, as a transporter. Waring & Gillow had a converted furniture van for their cars.
Rules exist for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

MG Midget 1500, MGB GT V8, Morris Minor Traveller 1275, MG Midget 1275 & too many bicycles.

I so want to own a vehicle like that one day. Room to sleep and eat with room to transport my Moke underneath. Sounds like the ideal way to holiday to me. :D

I left it on the computer screen and came back the following day to a postit saying "don't even think about it"
looks like my prediction of being told i can sleep there would have come true! (just as well i have no money)
