Classic car prices definitely are falling. Any GT6 that was almost collapsing under its own weight was going for similar to this only a couple of years ago.

£5,900 finish? Yes - that's cheap, almost tempting

Why am I bothering welding and restoring mine again for?

Because I think you get much more pleasure from tinkering/fettling/fully restoring (delete as appropriate) old cars than you do actually driving round in them. You'd be bored stiff if that Midget had just been fine on arrival.

Ooh it's another find from dad's illustrious collection. Not this one obviously, but it was still equally as shit.

That's ace!

Can imagine it'd be ideal to go all 'George Clarke' and have it done up as a B&B somewhere scenic.

Us discerning* 2T riders used to laugh at these back in the day. They just looked so dull and seemed to be mostly piloted by either the most unfashionable youths, or middle aged blokes with half-mast trousers flapping in the wind.

So heartbreaking these were taken out of service in 2021. I don't give a shit about trains, and that was like the most enticing reason to visit the Isle of Wight (and I imagine for lots of others, too). I do wonder what possible reason was given for getting rid.

True but the Midget was always supposed to be a project. A mechanical more than a bodywork, as I had enough bodywork project with the Dolomite.

I imagine up close that red one probably would be the same. 

One thing working on these old wrecks is appreciating how many bodged up and badly restored examples are out there. Even more so when you've worked on your own cars up close and see similar at shows. 

There was, from a distance, a nice looking red Midget at a local show. However up close I could see bits of uneven filler and misaligned panels that have been put into place in a rush. Like the A-post panel I went to a lot of trouble making sure it was flat and inline with the sill on mine, this had a dent in the middle of the panel and sticking out at the bottom. 

Its certainly made me not want to buy another classic sight unseen, unless it was an absolute steal with the appreciation it'll need work.

They were completely fucked, they were being kept running by cannibalising stock taken out of service. Spares were unavailable anywhere. A scheduled service can't be run on that basis.

Owned for 16 years but now 73 and my wife giving up driving means post-covid change of plan. Low use in past few years except recent holiday in Lancs. & Northumberland. This mainly home-maintained car has never let us down and has clocked up almost 250,000m.
