Unusual bed fellows. A crisp frosty morning and the camper is being employed to pick up and haul some stuff around Norfolk. Our good pal is glad of the company in his field though.

Or...
A great 'hot-rod' approach.
Modern MX5 under pinning, stock shell in a good French red wine colour.
2CV interior approach in oxblood then to the battle with DVLA...
It would be a go anywhere car then.

If only I was 20 years younger.

Mike - it's 'The N Type Special' driven/owned at the time that shot was taken by Mike Zimmerman (a well-known member of the Triple-M Register) & was/is fitted with a supercharged XPAG engine ...
