.......wrong! That's not a barry'd car, apart from the scoop, anyway....it may look tacky to todays eyes but to my teenaged self in the seventies, it's the epitome of cool ;)

That is more or less how British home-brewed customs looked in the 70's, whether by accident or design on the part of the owner I don't know, but I suspect it's accidental however! Just imagine it with a chain-link steering wheel and some faux-fur inside, and maybe some diffraction tape if anyone still sells it.....awesome!

Agreed. It's just how it was back then. Barryboys is more about Renault Sixes with silly bodykits, like this one:

Now that truly is a waste of Cataloy and chicken mesh! Fetch the bucket.

Posted on the 21st so someone has been busy looking at morris minors on ebay just as much as I have (I can look at buying another one as long as I don't bid or the other half may kill me)

Blimey, see that lass in the fifth picture of that thread, she'll catch her death in these barely there shorts that fail to cover her butt cheeks properly.
Nice to see that Barryboys is maturing into some sort of cheap Autoshite tribute act these days! :lol:
