What do you all reckon??

Well as some of you know I am involved in a Sweet Retailing Business ( as well as being a Transport Manager ) and we, myself and business partner, have taken the concept onto the road. To help promote the business and also the other shops in the franchise I have gone thirds ( with 'Mr Simms' and an other shop ) on this, my latest acquisition.

Based on a 1986 Sherpa Chassis , running a 1800cc Ambassador engine and four speed box.
I reckon it looks rather sweet.

Oh yes it's interesting in the wet. Will do about 60 flat out but by God you know it. And the turning circle, is interesting also in a crap kind of way. But it gets the look, more than any Rallyrep!!

Ha ha! Great stuff. First thing that comes to mind is " Dont panic Mr Mainwaring!"

Looks like a great bit advertising and a super little transport vehicle.

I think it's pretty cool Booty. I grew up with early cars. Dad still has 1907 and 1910 Buicks in his collection, which he tours in.

Oh yes she's Sherpa through and through Steve, you only have to do a couple of miles in her to realise that. It's a quirky old thing that obviously looks a lot older than it is. Just need to use it more now.
