I well remember that many years ago there was a photo in either Radcom or Short Wave Magazine, of an Austin Mini equipped with a rather large base-loaded Top Band (160M) antenna with the caption " The Mobile Station of G3???/M Screwed to the Base of his antenna!"
Far from the size of an Austin Mini is my 1979 van with a 160 meter antenna. This actually worked very well operating stationary during a ARRL 160 contest about ten years ago. I also operated some while in motion after adding a spring to the antenna base and a monofilament fishing line to keep the antenna vertical and to act as a fuse just in case the antenna hit something.

I see I failed to add there is a matching transformer inside the van right at the feed point.
