Saw this 4 door Prefect this year from Windsor ON, but with OHV 8.

Thats a nice little modded "Defect"... as a mate of mine from school called them. He had 2 ,a metallic brown and a blue one . He took a sweeping bend at speed into the valley where we lived and rolled it over. He just went home, took the body off the other one unscrewed the chassis plate on the firewall and and did a switch with the blue body and drove it around until it died. These were 10 a penny in the 70's down here at the "ass end of the world" and can still be bought today quite cheep on NZ Trade me.
