Summary
COI synopsis: Customising your car can mean anything from a totally hand built job costing thousands of pounds to just doing special paint work on a set of giant size wheels. Our reporter takes a ride in some of the jazziest jobs on the road and finds out what it’s like to really cruise!
Researcher Comments
Includes a brief extract from Rellim Clarke Associates’ film ‘Cruisin’' and from the BBC’s ‘Multi Coloured Swap Shop: Custom Cars’ programme. NB: Information drawn from the Australian version. ‘London Line, No. 571’ ran the same story
