Yep - Bedford is correct, but what is it?

If your really clever, they were built for a special reason and commision by the government at the time.

This is the last known survivor and in this condition after some big restoration.

Is it the last remaining mobile cinema.

7 were built and this one has just been restored and is back on the road and available for hire.

Neil,

I may be late in this but sh*t, Rex has another project here. That is one, where are the other six?

Heaven forbid if our LPP gets one!!!!!!!

Could you imagine Rex winning the lottery, he would take over Le Mans with a huge range of strange and wild vehicles, the mind would boggle!!!!!

So to restart this, what are the cars and more importantly why??? (look)

more importantly, what in the 'ell is that BT Engineer doing 'up that pole on his own, where's his chum and way isn't that ladder being footed?

Cars, extinct MG soft top and some piece of yankee rubbish.

Good - but what about the roof ornament on the Yank car?

[SL]

A quick Google reveals..

It seems this insane tableau is the brainchild of a man who was denied permission to install a pond in his garden by the local council. So, obviously, he went out and put a guy in the ready position on the roof of a foreign police car. Way to lash out friend!

The website is no longer active however it is an imitation of an LAPD squad car. Maybe the number 54 is a reference to the US tv series "car 54 where are you" or maybe to the Blues Brothers film with the pork pie hat, who knows. This was way back in 2000/2001!

The other car is a well known type of British Sports car, known as an MG often driven by young ladies and gents having been given the car for an 18th birthday by well off parents, or by hairdressers.
