I think i agree with you about the earlier incarnation being the better one. Crazy Swedish people at work again!

Nice truck! I'm so glad there are still crazy people building these types of transport!
"I have to say though, I do kinda dig the simple older version, with a Vauxhall 24v straight 6, lows and patina..."
The old engine shown in the picture was just a 2.6 12 valve straight 6, a lot less power than the 3.0 24 valve engine

^^^ perhaps you've forgotten as you've not needed to lift the bonnet lately as they are that reliable! I have a few 24vs as well so may be biased!

I certainly prefer the original wheels, and narrower front wings. Nevertheless, some impressive engineering.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.

Good content. The wing extensions on the front are particularly good, I didn't even realise they were there until the face on shot showed just how wide they are. I suppose the engineering that's gone into it is okay too

Definitely prefer the older version without the gopping wing extensions. Also could have done without seeing the dude in his tighty whiteys

I'm always amazed how people built such incredible things like this... I wouldn't know where to start!
