Oh yeah, I forgot about the Marina, Ian. The Mini was the first one to spring to mind though. Here are the photos of the Mini pickup:

There was a BMW '02 of similar vintage and the owner was running a Series 3 Landy.

It is finished!, well almost finished but it now runs, drives and does everything a good triumph should. In fact car is the most comfortable Triumph I have ever had, quiet and runs along the freeway very well at 70mph.

Last lot of work was to flush out cooling system and heater core, replace front wheel bearings, finally fix the steering couplings, and fit a silencer to the exhaust.
