Now there's some fabrication gone into that and i kinda like it. Would be better with the Bentley V8 in it though.

that's why I was having second thoughts. The Union Flag (not jack) looks naff and DILIGAF stickers etc. The Broadspeed I posted had brawn, class and pedigree as opposed to the "Broadspeed" on ebay. Maybe I'm being too harsh

The land crab was a nasty car anyway and its bigger brother was just the same. There has been some thought in doing this and its not to everyones taste. I like it as its different plus with some work it could be quite special.

There was a land crab on Ebay a while ago with a Rover V8 lump and a Jag IRS and that did look truly awful

The Jag is brilliant, anybody remember John Steed driving one in the Avengers.

Even the 'Works' Rally land crabs? :-)

I think it looks great, there are a few bits I would personally change but overall it would need a monster engine, but then I guess that's why he has a V8 waiting for it. Styling is great.

A V8 in it would be ideal.

Check out the peoples comments on the ebay advert.

They love it too !!
