I went to see this today purely as it was about 45 mins from me, and my dad almost bought one 15 years ago. The seller is a proper top bloke, spent ages nattering away. He's done a lot of work mechanically and it runs superb, the engine is almost sewing machine smooth and dry. He's had a few Safranes and amongst his other cars is a nice Cayenne. The stainless full exhaust system is quite throaty but I like it. The ride is wallowy and I found the steering vague, and the pump almost pulsates at low speed and seems to not like it when you dry steer with no revs. Unsure what would cause this. Handling was poor, I guess going from the ST170 to this I'd always be critical as the Focus is so tight and precise so perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh. Other than that, everything works. Ice cold air con, system voice computer etc etc. Good condition inside and body wise has some surface rust on the edges of the boot lip and a couple of random spots on the roof. I was tempted but I think it's a great car with the right engine and gearbox combo, and it'll go on forever.

Years ago I used to have a trailer made from a Mazda pick up with the brakes working by pulling the handbrake cable. The first time I used it it shoved the Opel Ascona tow car straight off the end of a gravelly passing place on a single track road when it wasn't even loaded.

This looks like the ex Stondon car. I don’t know where it ended up after the brightwell auction but it could have gone to Northern Ireland by the looks of it? I went to the Stondon auction at Brightwells as I fancied the Lagonda or Camargue, both went for more than I was prepared to pay being a tightwad! The auctioneer was taking bids off the wall and tried to fit up a bloke standing near me for excessive bids on the Camargue, it was clear that he had said he was out at around the price I wanted to pay. The auctioneer was very dodgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a tricky thing to find.

That's a Villiers 4T engine - an option for the Type G minicar; although Villiers bought JAP in 1957, 4 years before the type G was introduced, so there is some sort of connection. I wouldn't worry about the scariness of it - it developed a mighty 17 (seventeen) horsepower. It used a Siba Dynastart to start it. This used clever elastrickery to turn the dynamo into a starter motor by reversing the polarity of the neutron flow or something. I think the starter motor/generator on my newfangled Hyundai Ioniq uses the same principals. The kickstarter was there just in case...
