I spotted a picture of a pickup whilst searcing through old club magazines the other day. Has it been around for a while ?

hey steve,

not sure how long its been around or if it was ever in the club mag, but its looking pretty sorry for itself at the moment, needs alot of work, including a new roof :shock: so if anyone is scrapping one of our cars, cut the roof off for me :D dont forget i only need half a one lol.
ive got the pics of when it was "new" somewhere, looks stunning, i shall have to dig them out.
there was a triumph v8 in there when i got it, have since taken it out as i want a 6 in there, what do you think ??

Blimey Lloyd, the TV8 or 6 arguement again. So many fors and againsts for both motors.

Who did the original conversion and to what standard was it done?



Could I suggest an M52 BMW 6 like Andy has just fitted to a mk1 (stands back awaiting the fallout)
