My mechanic is recommissioning one for a customer after a 10 year lay-up, it's never been crashed or abused but you could drive a Range Rover through the panel gaps.

You wouldn't have to push it far, I doubt the Lotus would start either :)

Simpler just to replace the body with one from a Citroen Dyane van

I used to read a mag called Retro Cars which every so often came up with a bizarre combination like that Citroen Lotus. My favourite was a fairly standard-looking grey 1986 Skoda Estelle 105 Lux with a tuned Mazda RX-7 engine which apparently could eat Jags for breakfast. I remember the article saying something along the lines of it being a perfect fit as it was a compact and lightweight transplant, and I thought it was an inspired bit of lateral thinking. The linked (early 2007) sales description said " .... this is a tough car to drive, but very rewarding. If you have a long distance to get home, I recommend trailering it – it's loud, noisy, and nothing short of dangerous .. why I love it so much."

Apparently it sold for £2,499 and C766 VLP has vanished from plate info trail after mid-2007, although DVLA info says it was exported. I wonder where it landed .....

a long, long time ago i bought a magazine ( mainly for the then brand new 1993 Camaro/Firebird duo ) and in it there was a Volvo 740 wagon with a Mustang's 5.0 in it

just google the Skoda .. i bet everyone that had to see its tail ligts tried to figure what was going on....
