I can't recall the last time I saw an old Pathfinder, usually it is only old 4Runners around here.

The 4Runner. Is that the same as the Hilux SUV. Used to tow the race car with Japanese imported one in the UK. Liked it.

I am unsure of model name translations for that, but most likely. It is a body on frame SUV like the good old days.

It certainly lasts better than the same era Range Rover.

The early 4Runners were Hilux with rear cab/box being passed off as an SUV. Later 4Runners use Land Cruiser bits.

Caught this one at a Coffee and Cars recently and today I spotted it in the wild.

2 fer today. First, Ford sliding rear windows are bulletproof right?

And something I didn't recognize, at first thought it was a Morgan but MB star on hood

The car is a kit. For sure.

Ace.
I looked up Lotus on BaT yesterday. There was an Esprit. Cheaper than the Elise and ‘60s Elan posted on there.

Reminds me of those replica Merc (Mercedes) 500k you get in the Le Mans parade. Although they come with the giant exhaust manifolds.

Edit: which I annoyingly can’t find a photo of now.

Is this what you were looking for Adam, and Excalibur Roadster?

That’s what I was thinking of. Excalibur. Thanks, it was annoying me I couldn’t find a picture or remember the name.

Anyway, it’s not one of those

I'm assuming that is yours in your driveway at home

But wow, there is a lot going on at the front of that thing!

Those who know trucks will get a good laugh, and yes the badges are blacked out all around too. Only the wheels still have the oval

Most certainly not, and for more than one reason. The driveway isn't big enough, I couldn't afford it and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a certain amount of pride...

**Adam43** · 9 Mar 2023, 00:46 (Ref:4146394)

The people driving them in the parade always seemed quite happy.

We get a UK car show over here that I must admit I love watching.... Bangers and Cash.
I remembered seeing a White Excalibur on that show featured quite strongly.

I managed to find the relevant Bangers and Cash Excalibur segment on youtube. The actual car was originally bought from new by Roy Orbison no less. Fully authenticated. White with white leather interior

Watch that youtube clip here.... its quite amusing, and the car found a new home with a collector of cars, (with no space problems!) who admits he owns another one as well, a specially made for some Phillipino President 4 seater bulletproof version (with a hardtop

) that weighs 5.5 tons!

Anyway all here is this link: https://youtu.be/BvxF1kqfwP0

THAT IS GREAT, I spent as much time as I could when in the hotel looking for it on. Day my wife and her friend when to The Globe happened to be Bangers and Cash all day so it was excellent. Wish it was on Discovery Plus here, and The Smallest Cog

We get it on the A&E Channel on Foxtel here in Aus. I love it. I think we are a series behind the UK but its one of the few shows I always watch. They always have interesting cars on and the Excalibur was no exception.

Just can't explain that.

It's an equipment consent that uses Honda engines in their products

This is a series of parking next to large vehicles with a small vehicle on a Friday.

I love that thing. Is it a manual??

Spotted at Coffee and Cars (beer and cars really as it was at a brewery) with JHamilton.
