^ Was he the car-builder's son who did the electronics? This sort of period electronics is interesting, it would be good to see more info on the quirky stuff he built for that car.

 

Edit, I just read the Bonhams article, (see link in flat4alfa's post above), John Tatar would be the original builder's grandson.

Interesting links indeed.

The want is strong but no MOT, sadly,. I wish sellers would stick em in as I cannot see this needing much - barely used in last few years. £450 BINS Sarfend

I’d have gone for a full price mot as I’m sure the cheaper places find things that need doing.

Is your riser dry? Fancy getting it wetter than an otter's pockets? Then simply buy this and drive round town at 3.00am

Not F1 Autocentre (my testing station of choice). Halfords/Kwikkrap - possibly...

1244cc and aircon which I guess means no carburettor and no pushrods. Shame.

"it was run weekly until it stopped working"

Curiously, no mention of rust in the MOT history.

I had one just like this. It wasn't very good. I'd have another. Not at £2.5k though.

'I SPENT £1.229 ON A TOP ENGINE REBUILD'

 

 

Says something about 'Hunters and chasers' on the roof though, so possibly belonged to some fox hunting twats.

.Take that 'parents are only taxis for their kids' expression one further embarrassing step nearer to reality and rock up in this outside your kid's school

Interesting to see, exactly the same model and colour as mine. A quick and useable car with the bigger engine (just a shame it costs a bit more each year to tax).
