Looking around for a new surf wagon and finding, vans, utes pretty boring. WA has an unfortunate jobs downturn so alot of interesting cars are up for sale for not big money. Got me searching for classic inappropriate wagons and hit upon old Rolls Royce. Few up for sale starting at $10k
use a strap on rack around the bonnet and reckon 3x 6ft surf boards fit easy, 2x Kite board on a boot rack & kite plus wetties in the huge boot long with waeco & wicker picnic basket. 3x SUP or longboards on roof. Leather interior great for wiping clear of sand and seawater. Rear seating area large enough for changing room and as overnight bed. Lovely thick pile carpet to sooth bare feet with reef cuts. Air suspension for gliding over the red dirt roads, Lots of space for stickers. Only issue i see is the parking space required and the fuel.. Have to put a bikini on the flying lady bonnet ornament.
I'd love to see some tasteless mags on a roller, maybe a foxtail on the antenna and a dog with a bobbing head on the back shelf. ??
And roof racks!
slightly off topic but luv my appropriate magna v6 manual at inappropriate price sub 1K can hold all gear incl. 9' sup and can sleep in if needed
Any Mitsubishi would qualify as inappropriate in my view. Look at the Delicate. Even the last two letters fall off before it leaves the factory.
ok Rolls it too expensive to run so jag xls. Take off the soft roof and windsurf boards will fit from the boot and over the back seats. Short surfboard fit on bonnet. Roof area useful to stand and spot the waves , or hold a couple of kite boards. V12 speed to rush down to margs..potential..doesn't have the bikini lady ornament thou. Remember a few rally versions so red dirt rds should be no issue.
Inappropriate wagons are all over sea breeze.
I saw one of these yesterday, recycled as a trail biker's wagon. Bargain, I think the company has changed the colour scheme for better resale.
Now thats cheap to run Darth..US parts. even bigger than the Roller. lots of board rack space. Even bench seat on the front bumper for post beers.
There is no reason to get down on Rolls Royce for being an inappropriate surf wagon, if it's good enough for the Duke, it's good enough for anybody. Check out his signature Vans sneakers that he's wearing, the man has style!
