After a farmer lost his beloved sheepdog, he decided to remember his loyal companion by spending £2000 on a dog makeover for the family car.
Dave Isaacs and his family, on losing Floss the sheepdog, decided to make a car-sized replica out of a Peugeot estate car.
Mr Isaacs lives on an 180 acre farm near Battle in East Sussex and spoke of this unique tribute: ‘I know it was a bit of a mad thing to do but it was a tribute to my old sheep dog Floss who passed away.
Floss the car can reach up to 40mph and has been found rather adept at herding sheep with lamplights for eyes and an exhaust for a tail.
Talking of its usage as a herder, Mr Isaacs said: ‘Sheep aren’t known for their intelligence and they didn’t seem to notice the difference so they were quite happy.’
Sadly, due to the space the car with is taking up too much barn space, the family are putting it on Ebay with a ‘heavy heart.’
‘As long as she goes to a good home I’ll be happy’ said the Sussex farmer.
