A diesel Chevy Caprice?

Yes, but not just any old Diesel, a mahoosive N/A one that can drink reclaimed fat all day every day and has north of 480N/M of average torque. I tried a couple before realising that these could show an Alfasud how to corrode but some day there'll be a super rare SA version on the Gazette or Gumtree, RHD would be a bonus in something that's wider than a 420G.

Is that rear side door on the Sherpa a DIY job? Looks it but maybe I'm being unfair, and the 360's interesting but my favourite DAF of that style is the 340 Diesel, which uses a 1600cc Renault engine that can be made to go quite well with bits burgled from scrapped 1900cc Clios. 340 Diesels were sold in the RoI and I know of a Scottish source of such things but England never got them officially. Shame.

If that rear door isn't a DIY effort, the factory must have used a tin-opener to make them
I like the impala, it's already part way to being a low rider. Rich, you should get the Fiat 500 "noddy special" a bit of paint, buy a blue hat with a bell on it and it would be perfect

sorry i couldn be a policeman terry..

You could get the unimog, convert it to a tipper and use it for work then go off-roading at the weekends.

Only a 'Super tanker' is wider than a 420G! I remember a MK X Jag that had little D shaped indentations in the rear door cards. On closer examination they were stilleto heal marks.

Indentations and not actual holes though? Impressive, does that mean that Jaguar made their door trim tougher than most or that the people making the beast with two backs in the car weren't trying hard enough?

That Autobianchi jobby is just the cutest thing I've seen since two fluffy kittens that walked on their hind legs followed me home from the pub one night and linked each other all the way! What a little beauty.

But the thing I don't get is how someone has managed to cover 10,000KM in the 1/8 scale MG.
