Lol love the england flags on the transit^^ ledge if it did have the XJ220 engine in!

 

[KingTrophy]

lol,

 

[Englebert]

That Transit is great, he even glued typical rubbish on the dashboard so it looked authentic!

 

[Trophy 298/525]

The transit was great, I was on the start line when it took off, took everyone by surprise, it was pretty useful in the corners too!

The Espace F1 was an awesome machine, a V10 people carrier and it's still lighter than the 255 V6!

It had the full engine and running gear. Engine in the back. All the crap on the front dash is all glued down.
