As with many snapshots I have taken using the 24 x 18 mm format, (apologies, I loathe the term ‘half –frame’), the images are photographed frame by frame to create a panoramic scene.
For this series ‘Giuseppe’s Golden Guzzoline’ the images have been designed to be viewed in a complete sequence as presented via the link below:

The whole is very much greater than the sum the parts!
Faster than a speeding bullet,
More powerful than a locomotive,
Able to spin tyres and leave plumes of smoke with a single drop of the clutch,
It’s Super Van!
I am not much of a van fan. However, the weathered textured appearance of this old banger caught my eye - enough to commit it to film!
Aficionados of the Ford Transit van might not take too kindly to the cut and shut treatment I have done to create the image but might enjoy the modifications presented in the short video below:

Perhaps some of our community members from the UK can remember the actual Super Van back in its heyday?
The Australian variant of the Transit, the model photographed here, received a few ‘improvements’ for the local market. The V4 power plant was given the 'arse' and the locally produced 250 cubic inch ‘Falcon’ in-line 6 was shoehorned into place.
Around the corner and down the lane, the Banker’s motor car is a common sight in my neighbourhood and what a motor car it is! With its unconventional airplane inspired styling, distinctive crackle pop-pop exhaust note it very much the inspiration of many jokes amongst the children.
Pictured here, the Banker’s beloved Sonja SAAB awaits a service and tune from our marvelous maestro mechanic Zeppi Zep of Giuseppe’s Golden Guzzoline while Polly Percy’s Cadillac receives a wheel align. Sonja SAAB requires constant fettling to keep her foul mouthed two-banger two-stroke motor on song.
Special thanks to the camera repair technician and the team from PhotoCo Adelaide for sorting out Ollie-O Pen Super S.
