eBay tat volume 3.

I would love one of these, this is the right year, right colour.

It has been listed recently, so this is at least the second time of listing.

Below is the best picture. If the vans and caravans do not inspire confidence in the seller then read the description.

I’m oot. Even I am not stupid enough to bid on this. ( it is lovely though )

MG Monogram Jubilee is actually an anagram of 'Groom a jumble minge'. Didn't tell you that on the listing, did they?

Yes.

Yes they were.

Fast around roundabouts though. Until the NSF tyre came of the rim.

Wonder how hard it is to sell something like this?? Must be a limited market for people wanting a temple on the back of a caddy as there daily driver.

Quite hard to sell, they have been advertising that for ages, easily two years. 
If it was cheaper, it could sell to a pickup builder...

Funny thing for a dealer to import speculatively.

I've been wondering for a while Billy - how do you come up with these random anagrams?  Do you put every vehicle name into an anagram generator to see if it comes up with something amusing, or do you have some kind of weird anagram-spotting brain?

They had two identical in the dairy I worked at when I was still at school and saving for my first car, we used to use them for any extra deliveries for items not on the milk float.(later replaced with bedford midi’s. I had a minivan when I was 20, I remember getting it to 80 flat out. When driving them my knees were touching the metal dash rail as the seat would not go back far enough due to the load bed. Fun but in short doses, not for long journeys.

I've always wanted a Mini pickup.  Prices are through the roof now but just seeing one makes me smile indulgently.

I always thought I might like a mini pick up, but I'm not sure it offers the secure practicality of a Van.  Also I'd love this pickup, but think there are better ways of spending money.

Why? I could imagine some sort of V6 out of a Rover 75 being forced into the engine bay (No idea how) but a poxy 1.4 out of a polo? Not worth the effort.  Who was it that was shoehorning a big VAG engine into a little Lupo. Thats more the spirit.

I'd imagine it'd probably been engine raped for a Mini and the Polo engine was the easiest way to get it mobile again.

This is just lovely, and not too badly priced either at £4500 I think.

Has he got a horizontal radiator in there above the gearbox? I'm sure that must have a fantastic throughput of air if so.

Would it be any worse than the vertical sideways-mounted rad that many A-serieses were equipped with?  I assume it has an electric fan underneath to lend a helping hand.

No, I just get bored easily  (like you didn't know) and if anything looks like it'll spell 'minge' in the title, then it's game on.
