Nice I want it but have got 5 cars just now It's even got TGR style wheels on it. (thats what my mates call them as i always do my wheels black and silver)
Wonder how long it will take for the bec suggestions to come along?

perfect candidate for bike engine!

wander what the reserve is.... too much probably

nice - but not too sure about the grille. could do with a tune 1300 twin su a series mind.

An interesting car, nicely done. What do you think the reserve is?

If it has the BMC engine and box, I wonder what has happened to the torque tube. It looks as if it still has the torque tube axle.

You have obviously not driven one of these. The handling is evil. They have no roll stiffness and mechanical brakes that can pull you first one way and then the other. Believe me, 50mph is exciting!!

I was thinking of a MCC trials cars. London to lands end.

I would suspect a 1275 would make it scary

That should fly over speed humps. Look at the ground clearance.

No scraped sump on that one.

don't know, I think the wings are a tad trailerish and would not like to see what it does in a crash, might just come to pieces

Yes it would make a good Class 7 car and it may very well have been trialled in its life.

I'm sure I once went in one like that on a fairground ride somewhere.

And how many of them are mini's?
Just to add my bit, good cantidate for a jag engine

Reserve must have been £1000.
If it's got history it could go quite high.

I'm strangely tempted too

Even a rough Dellow would not go for under £4K
