Here's one for Barrett to tell us all about.

It's a Microplas Mistral body that was once red with a Triumph engine but now sporting a hoofing great 4.6 V8

Must be a recent build if it's on a Reliant chassis. Looks nice, apart from the roll bar (they need to be banned, really, in historic motor sport).

I'm more interested in this one which doesn't have any Ashley bits as far as I can see, despite the name

But appears to be the same thing that a friend of mine sold last year without really knowing much about what it was. I wonder if it's the same car, or if more than one of these was made? Looks like a Ginetta G4 and a Lotus XI got together

In either case, FUCKING ROLL BAR!

Convert it into something out of Bugsy Malone?

I love how half-arsed that is.  Mobylette twist-grip throttle and front brake lever just tacked onto the side of the steering column.  I assume that massive lever does the back brakes.  Take out the bike pedals and it could almost be an Inv*c*r.

For whatever reason SD1s leave me a bit cold, but could I get down with an early V8? Yes, I believe I could.

I would love an early SD1, this was recently on ebay

Trouble is a coupe costs the same to fix as a saloon and is worth twice as much, where is the fun in that!

I really miss my Visa. If I ever have any money ever again it's something I'd like to revisit. I reckon it was one of the nicest all-round cars I've owned - great fun to drive, highly usable, fast enough for everyday use with all the mod cons of a modern car but pleasingly odd to look at and just distinctive enough not to be totally anonymous, without being an obvious attention-grabber. The trouble is, there aren't really any others and the few that exist are all in enthusiast hands and 'valued' as such, when really it's just a slightly odd second-hand car.

Still, plenty in France. This one-owner car looks a bit sad, but is just crying out to be saved. €450. Not sure what engine it has, though.

this one is definitely correctly-engined, and is only 250 Euronuggets. Could make a nice one from the two I reckon

This one has silly water-cooling, and is all the money, but looks fantastic. I must say I'm envious of the luxury you get in a 'Super' - carpets, ffs! How decadent.

These facelift cars are n't half as appealing, but the colour of this one is lovely

Needs a bit of welding but nothing major, and it's only 600 Bitcoins. Not sure what engine, though

This one is about as far away as you can get, but hopefully that means it's not rotten, and for 900 monkey nuts it looks like valu. "it's a Club" too, which is a private joke only one other person in the world will get
