I assume many (if not all) of you are thinking "I'd like to have a KV or a KVS and am okay with angular lines and green paint, but is it available as anything that looks, oh, I don't know, a bit more British? Perhaps with bespoke coachwork?" Well, good news, for one lucky person your search is at an end!

Hard to say exactly how much KVS is left under there, but the distinct lack of a roller drivetrain suggests it started life as a Gad'Jet or a Mini 2.

Stuart: back me up, I know I can rely on you to like this freakish contraption!
-
Not sure I can back up Marcus but it does put me in mind of that film with a cast of kids - now several well known adult actors - called, I think, 'Bugsy Malone'. They had some wonderful lightweight pedal powered American style vehicles. This machine has that look about it.
I am not sure if Root has recovered from rubbing a Peel P50 bodyshell the other day. He had a sort of misty look in his eye and it put him off stuffing himself in the Carvery like the rest of us. Maybe a trip to America is what he needs. Exposure to really big vehicles might help. Worryingly he admitted to liking large utility vehicles. Might be kill or cure!

Yup, it has a Buggsy Malone look about it. Drive that along King's Road, Chelsea and the shops and cafes would empty out to get pix, like they do for my Trojan ;D

And the verdict from here is.... Yes, I DO like it. :) The fact it's got a roof helps its lines enormusly I feel, but then I often think a lot of cars look far better with a roof over a convertable. Talking of enormously, yes, I do indeed like big yanks of the '50s, '60s & '70s, particulary the estate cars. I was once offered a four-door 1960 Chevrolet Impala & would have had it but for the fact it wouldn't fit fit through our gates & I was only 17 at the time. This was about the same time that I almosted ended up with a 1978 Daimler DS420 hearse as well but for being an hour too late getting to where it was. These days I seem to be fast heading the exact opposite way with the size of my cars..... ;)
Mmm, that Peel bodyshell.... It was a nice shade of pale blue & all. Is it fate we wonder.

Well Stuart, I think we will loose this vote, but at least neither of us is the only nutter!
