so where are the pedals - either side of the enormous tunnel? Or conventional?
And what's with the rubber mat right next to the exhaust?

Someone who always fancied a Tiger Moth perhaps?

I like the fact that someone couldn't afford a £10 rad badge, so they cut one out of a £100 rad surround

I am torn between ' Wow, that's fab!' and 'Gawd, that's awful!' Think I am erring towards the fab...

Might perform well as a trials car also.
