I was wandering around the Shuttleworth vintage aircraft collection in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire this afternoon -I wonder if that's where the character of Biggles the ace pilot got his name? -when I spotted their parts hauler parked outside one of the hangars.
An "upcycled" Reliant. I loved the girder forks, (M40?), & "artillary" style wheels, (Morris 8?). The plastic school chair was a classy touch too Smiley

Think it's a Reliant Regent 10 cwt van from about 1950, without its body and with a later engine fitted. Austin designed axle is the reason for the three stud "Easyclean" wheels.

Aah, of course. There used to be a cream coloured one at the Basingstoke show every year.
