    Another Niva owner here. Gave it to my brother who uses it as a paddock basher. It is slowly rusting away, but still runs.

    My old Dyna hybrid. It is the only one ever made like this. Wish I was rich enough to have kept it and owned the ute. Do miss it every now and again. Was a P.T.A to work on, unstable of road and no power steering, but was a fun thing to have owned.

    And wouldn't have improved with keeping. Rubbish then = rubbish now.

    I had a few oddball cars back in the late 50's through 60's. Auburn s/c straight eight roadster. Dumped it. Worth six figures unrestored now. Chrysler C8 mourners coach, a nine seater, weighed 51 cwt, 22'6" long. A few other prewar orphans bought because they were cheap and I was an apprentice.

    The real odd one was the McDonald-GMC Special. Old speedway driver and car builder, Fred McDonald, built it. Chassis fabricated from thin wall 3" square tubing offcuts from scrap bins, much modified GMC truck engine 5 point something litres, many different gearboxes over a period in an attempt to find something that didn't weigh a ton, had decent ratios, and stood up to the GMC. Built as a replica of a J2 Allard with similar independent front suspension. Evil handling and an excess of power. Lots of fun though. It was a two seat sports roadster with the scuttle section and doors from a pre-war Morris 8.
