Remains of the bodyshell was taken to Booth's of Rotherham for scrapping on 11th February 2013. The name plate had already been removed.
Taken on the 15th June 2010.
This was from the period when Mazda fitted their rotary engine into almost all their bodyshells.
The road test report oddly uses a picture of a different can than the one actually tested.
No record of FKN170L, which was a Kent registration of August 1972.

'Ford announced an additional model to its Escort range in 1970, the Ford Escort Mexico. The Mexico was intended to cash-in on Ford's success during the London-to-Mexico rally, which had been won by a works Escort. The Mexico had a specially strengthened two door saloon bodyshell as well as RS (Rally Sport) suspension and brakes.
Externally the Mexico often came with special alloy wheels, four sport lamps and invariably sported wide body stripes in a contrasting colour to the rest of the paintwork. Despite having only a modest 86bhp the Mexico gained quite a following and has become very collectable since production ended in 1974.' Practical Classics February 2005

- Replica inspired by the runner-up in the 1989 Supertouring Championship
- Displayed at the 1991 Bangkok Motor Show
Started in 1976, the Production, then Superproduction and Supertouring Championship quickly became very popular as the saloons competing looked similar to the standard production versions. In 1987, Renault decided to enter it with its newly introduced 21 Turbo. Totally modified, the car received a partly tubular chassis, a lighter body, four-wheel drive and an engine prepared by Sodemo, taking its power from 175 to 430 bhp. Driven by Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Louis Bousquet, the R21 brazenly dominated the 1988 season, Ragnotti winning the title and the two drivers together notching up six wins over the ten rounds that year.
The following year, changes to the regulations led to the engine being installed longitudinally rather than transversely. The car was no longer in Renault’s colours but those of Philips Car Stereo, and despite a difficult start to the season, it finished as the runner-up with 11 pole positions out of 14.
The car offered today is a display model inspired by car number 21 from the 1988 season, with a stripped-out steel bodyshell, roll cage, bucket seat and the running gear from a standard R21. It was displayed at the 1991 Bangkok Motor Show before joining the collection at a very early stage. With no engine, it represents an absolutely spectacular show car for any Supertouring fan.
A series of photographs documenting the release of GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" from the Wabtec Brush works at Loughborough. 044 had spent exactly 14 months there for overhaul, reliability mods and new wheelsets. The assisting locomotive was a fellow Brush Traction machine, Class 60, 60 002 "Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020".
The 60 had also been out of traffic for more than a year after a turbo fire. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed repairs and then some additional mods were done as well as its immaculate repaint - the first GBRf loco repainted at DB Cargo's Toton depot.
This was the 60's first working for GBRf after its long spell in Toton and also its first run on the main line sporting its recently received new name commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Graham Farish.
This was also the first time two of GB Railfreight's Brush "cousins" - the Class 60 and Class 92 - had been together. The locos share a common bodyshell design, built by Procor in Wakefield, and have other similar components.
Potentially most historically of all, though - with the subsequent announcement the Brush Traction works are due to close by the end of the year - there's a good chance this was the last time a Class 60 will visit the place where the 100-strong class were built in 1989-1993.
GB's sole active grey 92 had lost its tunnel rings and Crewe Electric depot plaques whilst in Brush, but there are rumours of a new livery to come in due course. However, that won't be before it gets back to earning some coin for its owners (and DB!) with a brief visit to Crewe for a test run, before heading to Dollands Moor to resume tunnel duties.

In the early 1970s, Ford produced the Escort RS1600, the Mexico and the RS2000, all based on the Mk I bodyshell. Whereas the RS1600's engine was a 120bhp DOHC unit, the Mexico had an 86bhp pushrod OHV unit from the Cortina GT. The RS2000 used the German made Pinto engine - about 100bhp in stock form.

I actually dont like her as a character, and mainly got the doll because the faceup was the first tolerable from volks in a while, and as a minor surprise bonus the new DD F3 V2.0 body.
All poses are done without supports, and none of the poses are anything new that I havent done before, even with a DD2.
The V2.0 is still mostly the same style F3 frame underneath, with its irritations in a tweaked bodyshell, and the only real improvement has come from the neck notch, which has been a known retrofit for previous bodies since the DD2.
In 1963, Jaguar decided to introduce a new variant of its popular Mk II model (1959-1967), the luxurious S-type saloon. The S-type came with either a 3.4 or 3.8 litre XK engine, however Jaguar decided not to offer a 2.4 version (as in the Mk II range) as it did not really fit the new car's image profile.
The S-type featured a modified version of the Mk II bodyshell with unique front and rear ends added. The front had its own distinctive grille, shrouded headlamps and a slim line bumper. The rear of the S-type looked very similar to the large Mk X saloon and had a similar independent suspension design which gave a class leading ride.
Most buyers opted for the more powerful 3.8 version, although the 3.4 was by no means under-powered. The 3.4 could set quite a fast pace and although not as quick as the Mk II 3.4, the car handled extremely well thanks to its new suspension layout.

- Display car
- Genuine Formula Renault 3.5 single-seater
- A springboard to Formula 1
- Impressive performance, Dallara chassis
- No reserve
Created in 2005, the Formula Renault 3.5 followed the Formula Renault V6 Eurocup and became the top World Series formula. This single-make series featured single-seaters close to Formula 1 in terms of their aerodynamics and the driving techniques required, and many talented drivers passed through its ranks on their way to success in F1, including Robert Kubica, Carlos Sainz Jr, Kevin Magnussen and Heikki Kovalainen. Renault Sport ran 11 seasons of the series before withdrawing in 2015.
The cars were powered by a 3.4-litre Zytek-Renault V8 developing 530bhp, mated to a six-speed gearbox. The regulations for the series allowed teams to limit the cost of taking part, with a quota of tyres each season, for example.
The car from the collection has its original Dallara T08 chassis no. 033 with its bodyshell, and appears to have been used in period, although its history is not known. It is in good condition and comes with a gearbox housing, but is missing its engine and pedal set. It is an interesting survivor of this 3.5 Series, which could be displayed as it is or serve as the basis for a restoration enabling it to be driven again on track.

Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang Railways both planned to produce the AL1 (later Class 81) electric locomotive, but Lines Bros (owners of Tri-ang) acquired Meccano Ltd and its Hornby Dublo brand in 1964 and the Tri-ang model used the Hornby Dublo bodyshell. The Hornby Dublo model was made in two-and three-rail versions, whereas the Tri-ang version was a two-rail model. Both were initially produced in the same electric blue livery, the Hornby Dublo version with and without white window surrounds; and the Tri-ang version with and without yellow warning panels (the curious shape of the later was a feature of the model and not the prototype). It was subsequently produced in rail blue with full yellow ends. A similar model was also made by Trix in 1:80 rather than 1:76 scale. Thanks to Flickr user Clagmasterfor the base image of a similar AL3 (later Class 83), which has been modified to more closely resemble the Tri-ang model (21-Jun-24).

More Mk4s on test! In rather awkward light, Mk4 DVT no. 82213 heads set NL13 through Gamston, working today's Peterborough to Neville Hill test run (5Z50). Due to the recent discovery of cracking in the bodyshells of the IET fleet, the plans to re-introduce IC225 sets to the ECML have been accelerated; one diagram has already been given over to Class 91 power, with 91111 + Mk4 set NL13 likely to begin a second diagram later this week. I'm going to have a 'cracking' time photographing these!!!
This set is currently in reverse formation with the loco leading on the south end, presumably it will be turned prior to entering service on a second diagram.
All hail the mighty Lima class 31!
I got it from the Warley model rail show and it's a surprisingly good runner. In fact, it's the fastest model engine I have as it even beat the class 121 in a race (and the 121 is quick!). In fact the 121 has somehow made its way into this picture.
As this was fairly cheap, it will more than likely be the candidate for conversion into a class of engine I've been wanting, but doesn't exist in N scale form.
Hopefully that will be a fairly straightforward swap of bodyshell and bogies without having to permanently alter it, so it can revert back to 31 form if needed.
Power is drawn from one bogie and applied via just four wheels on the other (and not the four that would power a real 31 bogie either) so maybe that bogie swap might not be so straightforward.
Because of this unusual arrangement, with 12 wheels and only 4 of them powered, it has less haulage capacity than the 08. In fact it probably has the worst haulage capacity of everything!
The NS 1700 Class were built in the early 1990s and their bodyshells show the class's heritage: based on the earlier 1600 Class which in turn was inspired by the SNCF BB7200 class. Number 1749 is seen here at Amsterdam Centraal at the head of a train of DB CityNightLine stock, presumably having hauled the final leg of one of the overnight routes into Amsterdam.
GERMANY: The first two TW3000 high-floor light rail vehicles entered passenger service on Route 7 in Hannover on March 15th 2015.
The two-section bidirectional air-conditioned articulated vehicles are 25 m long and 2 650 mm wide. They will replace the TW6000 cars, which are 30 years old. They will initially operate on Route 7 and then on Route 3. These are cross city stadtbahn (tram) routes with a tunnelled section with stations in the city centre.
City transport operator Üstra placed an initial order for 50 LRVs from a consortium led by Vossloh Kiepe and including Alstom Transport in 2011. Around half of the €126m cost was funded from Land transport agency LNVG.
The contract includes an option for 96 LRVs, and Üstra ordered a further 50 in 2013 for €90m.
Vossloh Kiepe provided electrical equipment and Alstom has supplied specially designed compact bogies. The bodyshells were built in Salzgitter by Bozankaya, with other components coming from Düsseldorf. Final assembly was undertaken by HeiterBlick in Leipzig.
The first TW3000 LRV was presented to the public in March 2014; however, entry into service was delayed because of weld defects.
The Delahaye 135 is a luxury car manufactured by French automaker Delahaye. Designed by engineer Jean François, it was produced from 1935 until 1954 in many different body styles. A sporting tourer, it was also popular for racing.[1]
History
The Delahaye 135, also known as "Coupe des Alpes" after its success in the Alpine Rally, was first presented in 1935 and signified Delahaye's decision to build sportier cars than before. The 3.2-litre overhead valve straight-six with four-bearing crankshaft was derived from one of Delahaye's truck engines and was also used in the more sedate, longer wheelbase (3,160 mm or 124 in) Delahaye 138. Power was 95 hp (71 kW) in twin carburetor form,[2] but 110 hp (82 kW) were available in a version with three downdraught Solex carbs,[1] offering a 148 km/h (92 mph) top speed. The 138 had a single carburetor and 76 hp (57 kW), and was available in a sportier 90 hp (67 kW) iteration.[3]
The 135 featured independent, leaf-sprung front suspension, a live rear axle, and cable operated Bendix brakes. 17-inch spoked wheels were also standard. Transmission was either a partially synchronized four-speed manual or four-speed Cotal pre-selector transmission.[4]
Competition 135s set the all-time record at the Ulster Tourist Trophy and placed second and third in the Mille Miglia in 1936,[5] and the 1938 24 Hours of Le Mans.[6]
The list of independent body suppliers offering to clothe the 135 chassis is the list of France's top coachbuilders of the time, including Figoni & Falaschi, Letourneur et Marchand, Alphonse Guilloré, Marcel Pourtout, Frères Dubois, Jacques Saoutchik, Marius Franay, Henri Chapron, Faget-Varnay, Antem, and others.[7]
Production of the 3.2-litre version ended with the German occupation in 1940 and was not taken up again after the end of hostilities.
A larger-displacement (3,557 cc) 135M was introduced in 1936. Largely the same as the regular 135, the new engine offered 90, 105, or 115 hp, with either one, two, or three carburetors. As with the 135/138, a less sporty, longer wheelbase version was also built, called the "148". The 148 had a 3,150 mm wheelbase, or 3,350 mm in a seven-seater version. On the two shorter wheelbases, a 134N was also available, with a 2,150 cc four-cylinder version of the 3.2-litre six from the 135. Along with a brief return of the 134, production of 148, 135M, and 135MS models was resumed after the end of the war. The 135 and 148 were then joined by the one litre larger engined Delahaye 175 / 175S; 178; and 180, being an entirely new series that was under development before the war. When the large displacement chassis-series was discontinued in 1951, the 135M was updated to be introduced as the Type 235, as a last ditch effort to save Delahaye. The 235 was offered until the demise of Delahaye in 1954, but only 84 examples were built.
168
Presented in December 1938 and built until the outbreak of war in 1940, the Type 168 used the 148L's chassis and engine (engine code 148N) in Renault Viva Grand Sport bodywork.[8] Wheelbase remained 315 cm while the use of artillery wheels rather than spoked items meant minor differences in track. This curious hybrid was the result of an effort by Renault to steal in on Delahaye's lucrative near monopoly on fire vehicles: after a complaint by Delahaye, Renault relinquished contracts it had gained, but in return Delahaye had to agree to purchase a number of Viva Grand Sport bodyshells.[8] In an effort to limit the market of this cuckoo's egg, thus limiting the number of bodyshells it had to purchase from Renault, Delahaye chose to equip it with the unpopular Wilson preselector (even though the marketing material referred to the Cotal version). This succeeded very well, and with the war putting a stop to car production, no more than thirty were supposedly built. Strong, wide, and fast, like their Viva Grand Sport half sisters, the 168s proved popular with the army. Many were equipped to run on gazogène during the war and very few (if any) remain.[9]
135MS
Short wheelbase 135MS (1937)
An even sportier version, the 135MS, soon followed; 120–145 hp were available, with competition versions offering over 160 hp.[1] The 135MS was the version most commonly seen in competition, and continued to be available until 1954, when new owners Hotchkiss finally called a halt. The MS had the 2.95 m wheelbase, but competition models sat on a shortened 2.70 m chassis.
The Type 235, a rebodied 135MS with ponton-style design by Philippe Charbonneaux, appeared in 1951. Wikipedia

"Chassis Number: GHN52796909
Engine Number: 18V582FH6064
H&H are indebted to the vendor for the following description: "I have owned this car for over twenty years and it was restored using the original shotblasted bodyshell and mainly the original parts. It is not concours but it is in excellent overall condition and free from obvious rot or rust. The mileage at 43,400 is believed but not warranted to be genuine and there are supporting MOTs / service records running back for almost twenty years. The car has a correct period Motorola radio, handbook and workshop manual. A correct period Moto Lita steering wheel is fitted. The engine is in good order as is the four-speed manual gearbox which benefits from overdrive. The interior trim is free from tears or excessive wear and the hood is in reasonable condition. The car rides on wire wheels (including the spare) and there is plenty of tread on the tyres. It is eligible for historic class (free) road tax and has proven very reliable during my ownership". Great summer motoring, this smart MGB Roadster is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until June 2009."

This will be the view of the innards of the model soon. It looks like I should be able to get the bodyshell to pass over this! The upper deck has been finished as per the lower deck colours, however the area around the rear panels / staircase is the same red it would have been in London. I have cut part of the upper deck rear panel (around the emergency window) off to allow the upper deck to go together this way.

With future sales forecasts likely to remain low, Chrysler had planned on discontinuing the Imperial at the end of the 1973 model year. While image and appearance were an important part of luxury car appeal, without sales Chrysler could not afford to build an Imperial with a unique bodyshell.
A front-end design envisioned for the next Imperial penned by Chrysler/Imperial exterior studio senior stylist Chet Limbaugh came to the attention of Elwood Engel. It featured a "waterfall" grille with thin vertical chrome bars separated by a body-colored band running through the center, which started on top of the nose and flowed down.
To save money the 1974 model would use the same body panels as the Chrysler New Yorker except for the front end clip and trunk lid. This meant that for the first time as a separate marque, the Imperial would share the same wheelbase as a production Chrysler.
With the full effects of the 1973 oil crisis being solidly felt, a bad year for both the U.S. economy and its auto industry was in store for 1974 - cruel timing for Chrysler's 50th anniversary year. The "by Chrysler" script was removed from the car for 1974. The Imperial's electronic ignition system was a U.S. market first, as was the optional car alarm.
While total sales were down from 1973, Chrysler was pleased with the 14,483 Imperials produced, given the poor economy in 1974 and a retail price of $7,230 for the sedan.
