I'm not sure, but I don't think this was a factory option.

There used to be one in Bendigo years ago made from 2 Morris 1100's (almost minis :D ). They had a way of locking the steering at one end so that it was road registered.

Use to do a lot of the shows - also made a trailer out of the two rear halves to carry their gear :lol:

If one was a clubman and the other a roundie, would that cause a tear in the space/ time continuum leading to certain disaster for us all?

This used to be on the top of a shop awning in that little town of Jabuk.
The many times I have done the trip to adelaide from sydney I only noticed it on the last trip in January. I really did mean to stop and get a photo but forgot. Have some friends in Peake and was going to get them to get a photo.
Does this mean that it has been taken down or was this photo taken before it went up??

This was taken in January last year, so it has lain forgotten on my pooter for the last 12 months. How does that fit in? Is it up there now?

At least with this one there's twice the chance of a set of discs or a 1275!

If that photo is 12mnths old then the" push me pull you" now resides atop a shop awning in Jabuk.
You Adelaide mini crowd should take a run out to see it and then head back to the pub at Peake for lunch.
