Re: What Is This On The Roof?
I can remember seeing a few about when I was a kid ......round 1970 ish.
There was also the huge extension bracket mirror thing on the drivers door (another Brunell invention ?).........or just the long queue of traffic behind the offending vehicle ( we still got that!).

What a beautiful looking car, let's hope it hasn't had one of those dreadful Pinto engine's put in it.
