I am still a bit lost as to why Ford produced the JPS Crapi.
Was it just marketing to benefit from the F1 success?

From what I can gather - yes, exactly that.

The first one was the Europa in 1972 - much classier graphics, in my opinion, and although the Europa is a little odd looking, I've always liked them.

Looks like a car of two halves, each having a different design team!

Agree about the odd looks, but I always liked them too. Plus the back end is perfect for bringing a washing machine back from the Currys

i actually think it would look really cool with a couple of surf boards on the roof, sloping down to the "bread van" bit. Not that I would know what to do with a surf board, of course. Maybe a couple of ironing boards?

You could tie some planks of wood to the back and drive about pretending to be a builder.

That's the kind of thing Mollie Maid Ironing Services or a surf dude with no understanding of aerodynamics might try, and it wouldn't end well
