Fella I'm friendly with has just rebuilt a g3/4 escort with a Bradley build red top in it, that he used to rally years ago. Not sure if he'll rally it or just sprint it with the occasional single venue rally or hill climb thrown in for good measure. Can't wait to get a run out in it though

Didn't get a picture, but when stopping for fuel last night there was a very short wheel base and narrow looking VW camper van. The "old" type, with the round headlights and big V down the front.

One-off special, or did they/someone make something like that?

If it was something like this, it was probably a Subaru Sambar. Like a Suzuki SuperCarry made to look like a VW Camper.

That's exactly it! Looked very cool. I assumed some sort of K-car just because how narrow it was but couldn't work out what 😁

Did Subaru actually make a car with a VW logo at the front?

See loads of them in Europe. 207 rear and 208 front. Was sold along side the 208 as a budget option
This one had a 206 rear end and a 207 dash. Plenty of strange ones like this in Portugal the last week plus cars you don’t really see anymore all in variable condition 😂
