Sausages may be tasty but you don't want to see them being made or what goes into them!

Not my taste but it is a true special lovingly created by an eccentric owner somewhere! I would love it if mechanically it was very exotic, i.e blown, C/R box, well set up suspension and went like a cut cat, that would be fun especially if you came up against one of the plethora of LWB Ulsteroid's that seem so common in the UK.

You would need a sense of humour to want that in your garage!

At least the builder finished it and, presumably, it works. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
