I don't think an original Multipla would be big enough; a 238 could be fun but it's finding one...

Words alone cannot express just how much I don't want that Transit! besides, it's only a 5-seater ;)
…that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today.

I'm one of four and my dad carted us about in a Transit Tourneo (it was quite nice inside, leather seats, indivtual cigarette lighters, a/c, etc)
This one doesn't have the leather but it is still a handy thing: http://drilldown.autoexposure.co.uk/veh ... erlooville
Not exactly classic though.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

:shock: Can't quite put my finger on what's different about the mini.....

Eureka! It has headrests in the back, just knew that something wasn't a standard thing. :D

I'd love to stretch an Allegro, but with the current legislation it'd probably end up on a Q plate :(
{Updated} I've been playing in the local Sainsbury's carpark, and with Photoshop - I really want to make one now! {/Updated}

Car & Classic has a Mini on there at the moment, almost identical to the one a few posts above:
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C215147

Oh, here we go - Ecto-2, anyone?
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C216313

or perhaps a nice V8 Sherpa (LDV400)?

If it was a paddywagon I'd be all over that one!
