its in the haynes museum.
the cosworth engine up front has been cut open so you can see the internals, it all moves fully. the car is powered by a vw flat 4 i think it was.

its in the haynes museum
it has a vw engine in the boot,as the engine in the front has been cut up so u can see in side.
it was used as a display piece so the vw engine was just used for moving it around as the front engine isnt usable.

You know what's weird? I remember watching the Goonies on the day I moved house when I was about five, and I've only seen it once - I probably watched all that exact broadcast.

i saw it at the Haynes , too, and i was really surprised to see such a conversion... usually we find the Type 25 drivers putting in Ford engines in the bus, but i never saw a bus engine in a Ford ;D clever designed and well executed....

I remember reading about that in CCC back in the day. It was built specifically for that Duckhams advert by some bloke I can't remember who did lots of that sort of thing.
It was fully operational driven by the VW lump at the back.
