Too much chrome for an Ambassador... it really does look like it's based on a Princess though. Are these actual characters from the Cars films universe (what a weird sentence) or are they just having fun making ones up for toys to sell now?
EDIT: There's a wiki? Okay, so they reckon it's probably based on an Aston Martin Lagona and yeah, I can kinda see that a bit too. Doors and rear quarter window definitely look like a Princess to me.

Some people collect stamps. Others collect old lorries and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Looking good. Did you consider the use of explosives for stump removal?

Good choice. To me those Ambassador seats just look wrong in there.

Good stuff Robert. What's the range of that Astra on 76 litres of gas? 500 miles plus? For comparison I've had 802 km on 78 litres of petrol out of a 3.9 OHC Falcon wagon (nominal 80 litre tank), six up with luggage.

The owner's insurers might be quite unkeen to provide cover, or to pay out in the event of a claim, if the vehicle was not registered correctly.

Once you get the knack of it try starting it when you've got a few in. That'll be the real test.

Drive it dodgy and take a chance? What are the odds of getting caught and/or other untoward ocurrence?

Good on you mate. If I had to pick one vehicle out of the fleet you had it would almost certainly have been the lorry. So many things I could use it for on and around our rural small holding. All the best.

I have no useful advice, just want to say that thing is cool as a polar bear's ball bag and I'd love to have one (the dumper, not the polar bear).

Bit sketchy maybe but no more so than buying anything else of similar value secondhand online.

I dailied a Wolseley 1300 for several years and also had no cold weather related issues, even when driving in snow.

I'd be inclined to just drive it normally and monitor it closely.

White door makes it look like an old style police car.

As said in your other thread wonderful that you found this and got it back.
