A bit seventies ;D
But impressive, nonetheless. 8-)
Wonder what they would have made of the F1 powered Renault Espace? :-/

Bet it sounded a bit special in there with those weber downdraughts echoing around the rear. :-*
I think they need to do something about the body roll. :o I bet he was touching cloth on that chicane. ;D

It does rather look like they forgot any anti-roll bars ;D
I chuckled a little at the "With proven performance showing a 0-60 time of seven seconds.."
Still, in 1971, I suppose that was fast ;)

Smile :) takes me back to my youth, not sure about the front wheels though, do not look right to me.. :-/

I'm guessing the 'wider track' was the only thing stopping it from falling over in the corners ;D
I chuckled at the 'stretched tyres' - I can't recall if it was here or the MR2 forum where people were bemoaning this 'recent stupid trend' .. :D
-
makes you wonder where it is now the wider track must have helped with understeer as they said it handles well!
-
spray it black and put red stripe on side and you got the A Team van :y ;D ;D
-
did anyone see the transit that was at goodwood last year,four wheel drive and jag twin turbo power,it was quick up the hill complete with ladder on roof rack ;D ;D

From memory the comments about the van's performance being a shade slower than the Le Mans winning GT40 is rubbish. The car was much, much quicker, sub-five seconds to 60 and over 200mph at the top end.

It's true for a certain value of "shade". ;)
Obviously a huge airbrake like that is going to suffer aerodynamically compared to a GT40. I suppose both offered what would have been regarded by the layman of the time as pretty jaw-dropping performance, though. How things have changed. ;)
So, if anyone's got a GT40 kicking around, take note. It's a bit outdated. I can offer a disposal service for such obsolete cars and my rates are very reasonable. :D

.. as long as a fine mist of petrol and oil rejected by the engine would be acceptable. ;)

And your parcels didn't get sucked into the carb trumpets ;D

I always keep my parcels safely tucked inside my underpants ta. :D

Video maybe from the 70's, but funny how even today white van drivers still drive the same as this on the roads ::) . After all a Diesel transit will beat any supercar ;D .

Ah yes, old fords. What did it stand for again?? oh yes, I remember, Fix Or Repair Daily. ;D
