Oi! Bad example, the Capri, as there were 4x4 Capris manufactured by Ferguson for retail sale. The one below is a forest rally Weslake 4x4 Mk1, made by Ferguson, fortified for rally under the eyes of Tony Rolt himself, and imported by Ferguson's NY Agency.  |

Car bodies on 4x4 chassis are one of my pet hates. Dunno why, I just don't like them. And I have no pics... so hopefully that means none of them exist.  ;D |

Relax. Cars plonked on a 4x4 aren't any more stupid than this:  If chavitudinosity of one kind is OK, so is chavitudinosity of any other! Thus sprach Zarathrusta.... or whatever...  |

Why the hate? Don't these prove that you don't need some great heavy box of unaerodynamicness* just 'cos you want to go off-road? Fair enough the examples where a car body is stuck on about a foot above the original chassis are a bit marginal, but examples like the Fergason Capri, P5 and Volvo (and some of the yank stuff, possibly even the Spitfire) look very well integrated. * Word Of The Day |

I read this wrong too - was expecting all those jacked up rover abominations the Scenics that were plastic adorned etc.... and now all those 'cross' things. I'm really screwed on this one, tmost scream no - then I think the P5 could be dropped just a tad and decent wheels would have it scraping a pass  |
