I'd say that Xant is bang on the money now. It's the twin of mine, so somebody on here should buy it for no other reason than being able to park them side by side at some point

That is the ultimate birthday present.

Seems to be £1 as well , only it's 4 engines , with a mile of track you could have standing ¼ races

I never knew about the double rear window until today. Solving a problem no-one really ever had.

Thanks for that, I’m now the highest bidder and don’t really like XMs. I knew that dodgy Super-U cider was stronger than I thought.

I doubt it's ever been much cheaper than this to buy a running sleeve valve motor, although it seems pretty noisy so perhaps there's disaster afoot. Wood though, even with the utterly horrid retrim.

Smokey and gruesomely weddingised alas. With black paint and dark red leather possibly originally. That smoke...'they all do that sir...'...really?

Fantastic cars...I had one. Pity about the engine - a re-engineered C which was very sluggish. Longbridge built a Rover V8 prototype. Was very popular and some extra power wd have suited the car. Build your own?

Sleeve valves smoke like a 80-a-day nicotine fiend even in good health, so that wouldn't worry me nearly as much as that horrible trim.

I went looking for a Kewet Buddy because of the 'Cars you didn't know...' thread, but found nowt; I did find these which are almost as shite. Behold the Think!. Electro-shite for the discerning motorist.

I locked myself out of the house a few weeks ago,  went out with the wrong keys , everybody else went out before I got back.

The garden gate is on a combination lock so I got in the garden , 2 hours to kill , 4 bottles of cloudy cider from the fridge in the offy , sunny afternoon .

By the time they got back i'd drunk all 4 , only I was proper pissed , could barely walk , staggered upstairs and spent the afternoon in bed , proper hangover too after.

When I looked at the bottles ,7.3% , mrs wack still had her grumpy face on, afternoon plans scuppered

We had a fleet of those at work for driving around the site. Good fun for about 10 mins but wouldn't fancy driving one on the road and brakes were shocking

For those who don't know they were a Norwegian company called Pivco ( last seen on a channel 4 series called better by design where two designers took a different product each week and tried to improve it, including the bog seat and bra). Ford then bought it in the mid 2000s and gave it a facelift and called it Think!
