Mr Buzzer asked “what is it”?

A Bugatti ■■

The Ford being lifted onto the ship is an XR Falcon, dating the photo to 1966~7. This model was available with a 170ci or 200ci six or the range topping 289ci Windsor V8. The limited edition GT started the muscle car race which culminated in the Falcon GTHO, at the time, the fastest four door production car in the world.

That thing is no more a Bugatti than I am.

It’s a Teal kit car, they are styled to look vaguely like a pre-war Bugatti but it’s a kit using Morris Marina mechanicals.

This is a special picture for my Trucknet friends North of the border in Bonny Scotland.
It is a fine wee product that I buy from my local Sainsburys store. Cheers, Ray.

Yummy Yummy, :smiley:

Close enough and equally reliable. :laughing:

The Bugatti badge in the rad got me.

What about the Matchless those single potters could be handfuls if set up correctly.

To be fair dropping a Rover V8 into the Marina could be done in a weekend.

Buzzer I would say that is a locally made (Oz) cab based on the Stuttgart Road Blocker above.
Says: Stockport. Brisbane on the door.

You wouldn’t be the first driver to get Stockport mixed up with Southport Gazzer.

You can’t buy a stick of rock in Stockport. :wink:

It actually says “Murwillumba-Southport-Brisbane” on the side, all locations it serviced. On the front is painted “semi trailer bus” not an uncommon configuration in the day.

Still waiting for one of you QLD experts to show me a picture of the Crossley railbus I used to catch while looking for work near Mackay, I think it was. Even a specialist Australian railway history forum couldn’t manage it, producing all sorts, AECs etc. but not a Crossley. Sort of thing that makes you doubt your sanity. :unamused: :confused:

Latest development David, apparently there was a Crossley working Cairns ~Chilligo. Were you on the Tableland in the 1920s? I suspect not.


Do either of these look like the elusive RM? There seems to be virtually nothing recorded about the Crossley.
