Having read custom car october 2003 in the review for the damn yankees at north weald a guy called phil bissett had a 1961 morrison milk float with a rover v8, jag rear and sherpa front, the reg in the picture reads milky and its running on slot mags, anyone remember this or know where it is now?

Was that the white one called 'PastYoureyes Express'? I belive there were 2 V8 milk floats about at one time.

Phil has had a lot of funky motors in his time, a short while ago he had a shortened mini.
In the 80's, he did a rolls-riley, based on a riley elf, and also once built a jago jeep, called nitro willy, all done in camoflaged matalflake, or kamo-flake. LOL
I know nowt of the milk float tho.
He used to do murals on cars, he is a tattoist now.
