They tried to turn a Range Rover into a Black Cab at one point. Do you think this could be it?

naw, it was done by Moretti, coachbuilders in Italy, I imagine an attempt at a Range Rover, done in the seventies and low and behold used the Fiat Campagnolo as a base.

Mind you when they weren't failing at off-road they did some pretty nice stuff with the Fiat 500

Funny, my dad thought it was a Simca, which is the French equivelant. Didn't Simca and Fiat join up at some point?

You've got me thinking now Stephen, didn't Simca become a part of Peugeot?

I know Maserati and Citroen got together for the Citroen SM which Burt Reynolds getaway car in a film of his. It was Citroen body and mechanicals but with a V6 Maserati engine roaww!
