Land Rover Eezion
The Eezion low-loader unit was an ingenious conversion where the rear suspension units could be lowered hydraulically to bring the tail end of the body down to ground level. The earliest known example that used a Land Rover front end appears to have been converted from an 80-inch model in the early 1950s (shown here), but the best known examples were those delivered to the Automobile Association in 1971 to meet a need for a vehicle to transport immobilised cars quickly off motorways.
This is one of the many fascinating conversions featured in our upcoming book, "The Complete Catalogue of Land Rover Conversions & Accessories" by James Taylor.
This Venetian Red Ford Escort RS1800 was one of only two non-white cars and is the sole surviving example. A special order from the factory, this March 1977 RS1800 was delivered from new with steel-crank BDA and deleted side stripes.

This 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk II BN7 has spent much of its sheltered life on the Isle of Wight. A rare and original car, it had covered just 26,000 miles from new when it was photographed for our book, ‘Factory-Original Austin-Healey 100/6 & 3000’ by Bill Piggott. #austinhealey #austinhealey3000 #britishsportscar #carbook
The Twin Cam replaced the Lotus Cortina as Ford’s front-line contender, being stronger, lighter and more agile but using the same essential components. As legend has it, the concept arose when Ford competitions manager Henry Taylor and team foreman Bill Meade spotted an Escort prototype being tested on the track; by March 1967 they’d blagged a pre-production Mk1 shell and - over the course of one weekend - created the forerunner of every rear-wheel-drive Escort that’s still winning rallies to this day.
This car was shot, in huge detail, by Simon Clay for our book ‘Factory-Original Sporting Mk1 Escorts’.
