Presumably the records still exist? Who would want the wheels to come off their antique roadtrip?? *my legal department has agreed this wording - particularly the term 'difficult' Interesting additional point - Charlie Ross (L) went to the same school as me... richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Someone spotted this over the weekend and posted it on @trigger's excellent East Coast Retros facebook page - and it really piqued my interest. It's for sale 3 miles from my parents, it's a local Ipswich car with HDX suffix to match my Mini. My parents nearly always had a japanese car on fleet, and we were regulars at Carrs Honda in Ipswich - trudging around the forecourt once a month to see what had arrived. In fact, my parents had an earlier bronze Civic. Two owners. 23,000 on the clock. I got bored waiting for my Dad to go and speak to the garage owner - so called him up. Today. We know the proprietor, he used to service and look after my Nan's Mini back in the 80s. He wants £2495 for it which, on balance, is probably about right. I'd dearly love to buy it but it's about £500 more than I'm comfortable paying for it and I don't need 1 car at the moment - never mind 7. I imagine he only gave the old girl a few hundred quid for it as "it's an old car love" which is a further frustration, but I never resent someone earning a living. I just wish they'd not to it at my expense sometimes!!! Anyway - if anyone's serious (he'll not welcome being fucked about) then it's at Brands Garage in Trimley. spartacus, Dick Longbridge, willswitchengage and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the only one left in existence. If I win the lottery then yes, fixing (or getting parts) would be fun* especially as, IIRC, it's front wheel drive.

[Some] people take these cars onto the forecourt to drive foot traffic, they are often not over anxious to sell erm. Come looking at that and you end up driving off in a 2017 electric Cockfumbler Wizzomatic with HID headlamps the bulb change for which costs more than your first house.
