Many many years ago, Essex Police had one of these

but with a tuned 3.0l Ford Essex V6 under the bonnet. Thats the same engine that was used in TVR's. The boys at dagenham had built it for an experiment/laugh and Essex Police thought it would be good as an un-marked wagon for catching speeders on the A13.

Currently advertised on Ebay for about 8K by a classic car specialist and in great condition ..... Is this your perfect fishing wagon?

[Marc Fauvet]

add a disco-ball in the back and it's perfect !

I could actually live in that! Imagine the summer you'd have, work Monday to Friday hit the road Friday afternoon......hmmmmm.

Did you buy it yet Noel?

Stick Orvis on the side, then wait for a 40% off sale

And that is why the Nurbergring has a reputation!

I cannot believe the luck of some of the people in those crashes!!

Interesting just how many of those cars that rolled were rear engined

Couple of really rare motors in that clip..... guess they're rare as folk kept rolling them.......

This would have made a really cool little fishing wagon
