I customised design it.
I embroidered it on taupe suede leather BOSTON of BIRKENSTOCK with the thread of the gradation color.
Customised raw lacquer Brompton. Brooks B17 Saddle, Brooks yellow leather full length grips, Brompfication hinges and seat clamp, Brass easy wheels, Tiller cycles alloy chain wheel guard anodised by Steve Anodise, Kettering leather mud flaps and hub cleans, RAW carry handle.
I bought my Brompton at Moose Cycles, London. They also helped with installing some of the mod's like the chain wheel guard which can be a bit awkward. Great shop!
This was the Ford Transit 12 seat Mini-bus which I converted into a Motorised Caravan in the 1970s.
I also customised the dashboard myself.
I originally fitted it with an elevating roof but I then had a high top fitted.
Customised 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air that was parked near the show, this should have been on display. These were sold brand new here in Australia through the Holden Dealers.
Taken at Cavendish Show and Shine, Victoria in 2014.

Customised the WB to try and eliminate the omnipresent orange glow of the streetlights. It did odd stuff with the colours from the LEDs.

My old 131 which I inherited from my parents, unfortunately my young brother decided to "customise" the picture with a biro when he was in his early teens.. its one of the few pics of her I`ve got!
It actually had the large Argenta type headlights, polished stainless steel window surrounds & grille bars & silver steel wheels (note my Street machine tax disk holder tho! (I still have that!) ;-] ).
It has the distinction of being the first car I had an accident in! I went into the back of a Mercedes van in Green Lanes Palmers Green with it not long after I passed my test, luckily neither were badly damaged & were both were repaired within a few days.
She also taught me about wet weather oversteer!
However, she went rusty at an alarming rate & by the time i sold it it (When she was about 10yo), the roof gutters were rusted through underneath resulting in some leakage onto the (gold velour) headlining, & although the sills & arches were reasonably solid, the middles (!?!) of the rear wings (round the holes that held the rubbing strip clips on) as well as under the glass,, the tailgate (both under the glass corners) & the lower edge, & the middles of a couple of doors (apparently rusting from nowhere!), inside the D pillar vents, bottom corners of the screen surround + the floor was starting to go (probably because of the water ingress from the rotten gutters).
The roof was also later hand painted matt black as the clear lacquer had all flaked off!
I got through quite a few aerosol paints while I had her (Fiat 400 Metallic blue)...
She was 100% reliable though &, like all pre-2000 Fiats, the engine was superb! fantastic exhaust note, always egging you on to rev that little bit harder ;-)!
The only `failure` in the entire period my parents & I had her was the electric radiator fan switch that caused the fan to stay on once.
It was last taxed around a year after I sold her (to a builder), I strongly suspect she is now in the scrapyard in the sky alongside most of the early 80`s Fiats...
I`d love another one but they are now incredibly rare, I doubt theres more than 15 non-sport models left on the road in the UK & maybe 2 or 3 of those will be twin cam estates).
IIRC the original supplying dealer was in Byfleet, Surrey? Area code "PM".
