Sporty SWB Saloon... - Ruairidh Dunford - 17-02-2018
Many years ago I remember seeing a very fast/sporty green SWB box saloon - had cycle wings and smaller wheels at the front.
Does anyone remember this car and have photos of it please?

Was this Barrie Argents car Ruairidh? I lived just round the corner from him when he had it in the 80"s I am afraid I do not have any pictures but as I recall it was a shortened RN body, the length was removed from the door opening, fitted on an SWB chassis It was Dark green, 15" wheels, lowered suspension, abet when I knew it he had bobbed wings fitted rather than cycle guards, so possibly not the same car, I know I have seen published photos somewhere and it was regularly used at the time. Sorry I can't help more.

Sounds similar - if you unearth any pics I would be very interested.
The doors were shortened ones from a LWB car...

At one stage the "doors" were a hook and chain arrangement. I recall one summer Club night at the Central London 750MC group a policeman taking an interest in the car ( a friendly one fortunately) with Barry strategically standing between the policeman and the Tax disc area of the windscreen throughout the " interview".
Happy days !

I remember pictures of ‘that’ car - I am not sure it is the one I am thinking of or maybe I recall the later development?

Don't hold your breath, anyone, but the Priors may be working on a secret weapon!
(Not the original one, though)

has there ever been a car porn thread on the Friends?
More photos needed!
(I'm particularly interested to see hot chummy)

Do you mean something like this (a recent Gallery posting)?

This was one of my favourites of course... (with apologies for potential thread drift...)
