I'm sure I have seen that pair of mole grips on another Dunford car. Must be a standard fitment!!!
BTW well done Daisy.

Sports Van inspiration, some great ideas have been shared in FB.

Daisy particularly liked the idea of a pointy boot that lifts up to store her Clarsach and guitars!

Can anyone here add anything?

How about a Highland Coupe with a pointy tail? ( Says he, still thrilled by having driven the original HC at the  Centenary Event!).

We have a Swallow Saloon windscreen and some RK doors that could be cut down, also some RK framing.

The Miller 'Golden Submarine' of 1917 is another fantastic streamliner but for practicality I'd go with the MG M High speed van type coachwork, perhaps with a roof rack for extra utility when transporting the larger musical instruments, sousaphones, celtic harps, pianos etc.
