Seriously, I think that a Clubman Elf would look rather good. As would a Clubman Pickup!

Rich,

If I got this.... would I win? Hahahaa!

Seriously though.... it does look terrible. If you could put it on without bonding it or drilling holes, I think I could have been tempted!

That is truly awful!
As Clarkson would say, "Designed by a team of engineers, who have never met"
Think Toyota Yaris Verso, Skoda Roomster, Suzuki Wagon R .......
How many of those fibreglass monstrosities did they actually sell? I'm betting that the one for sale is the actual one from the 60's advert, surely they couldn't have thought it would be a good idea to make more than one?

An awesome car ! 8-) I've lugged engines about all over the shop in one of these, you can fit tons of stuff in 'em, low loading area, huge tailgate ,nippy reving engine that'll go to the moon and back on a tank and they're bullet proof ! Yes they look like a Popemobile but you can't have it all :lol:

Back to the big booty...it's growing on me this...

Finished at £56 I reckon that at that price it would have been a great addition to any collection of 60's tut. M

There could easily be a thread devoted to various mis-judged 60s accessories. This hand-cranked, cable operated rear screen wiper would sit quite happily above the boot extension.

Is that the "Rear Vista" I sold? I had one that was identical to that down to the condition of the box.

This one belongs to Graham at Heritage Garage, California, and I think turned up earlier this year amongst some other random old stuff. I'll ask him where it came from Mark; it could be your old one, or it could be the other one that Miller made.

I wouldn't have thought they even made 2 :-)

Not surprising that both were NOS boxed though.
