Can't leave it alone....
This one's low budget.
Could easily return to standard though....
That LR is a rag top as well, so the LR driver might have to wear a hat to avoid oil drips in his hair.
Overall, maybe risk is too high? I sure wouldn't do it

....if you didn't bend it while racing and then bent it loading onto the Land Rover, how do you explain that to the boss?
It's not the Land Rover of course; it's the Shelby transporter and it's Allen Grant at Daytona in 1965.
The car apparently wasn't damaged, but Dave Friedman was always there with his camera, which is why this one's always there to remind us why the unfortunate Allen Grant has always been known as "the Loader".
Seriously though, a great driver.
Cheers,

Fifty years on and I still don't know whether to laugh or cry at that photo.
Poor Allen Grant -- fancy having to live with that forever. Can't you just imagine the smart-alec cracks he's had to endure throughout his life?

Spook,
Do you have an update on the transporter build? How are the TAFE guys progressing?
....and I found another one of Mike Shoen's excellent pictures from the Cobra Ferrari Wars ....

Glen, the easy part was picking the car. We ended up deciding on an 1972 F350 dually and fab up a banana back.
That was the easy part....the problem is with TAFE and the WH&S red tape politics and crap that comes with it and its at a standstill with the "Powers That Be" in their glass Govt Towers still to decide on whether they can green light it.
By the time its (if) green lighted I'll be 100 years old! |

It looks like one of the ramps has collapsed. I don't reckon it was any fault of the driver.
I wonder how they got it down.
