The advert is clearly wrong - look at the badge - that's a Ford Omega  ;D

 :y  But to be fair, I often see the wrong picture of a car for sale. Quite often it seems if in doubt, use a picture of a mondeo

Thing is though the description for the omega is wrong aswell not unless the Bench Seat At Rear Making Large Double Bed, Hob , Grill, etc, Awing. were all additional extra's although wonders where they would go. :) ;D

If the Napier is sited below the hob, there would be no need for a propane cylinder! ;D ;D ;D

If I've got my facts right, Mark, this was used in the Hawker Typhoon and one example still survives - MN235 - it is on display at the RAF Museum here in Mill Hill (great museum to visit - need to set aside the whole day, though)
