Absolutely no idea what this vendor is on about, maybe they're related to Chelsea_Dolls_House_Antiques (whatever happened to him) or something...

I've posted this non-saggy arsed 'tina before, but now with better pics. It's at that abandoned race track below. 1.3L

That must be so underpowered. We never suffered the 1.3 estate here in Mk4/5/Cortina80 flavour.

You could sell that plate to a lawyer for mega bucks too I bet....

Er....no.

 

Near where I live is the firm of Darryl Ingram & Co, which specialises in criminal law. The senior Partner runs around in a BMW with the plate "D1 LAW". As an advert for the firm, it's brilliant. As a personal plate, it's tacky.

A few weeks after my 17th birthday and thus into my driving career, Lotus introduced their new Elite.

And I've had a thing about them since.post-17481-0-84192800-1538777919_thumb.jpeg

Now, I've promised myself no more (miserable & rough) four cylinder engines and this now has a Rover V8........https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-elite-701-custom-V8-Barn-Find-swap-px-part-exchange-why/232934544166?hash=item363bfb1326:g:3ZMAAOSwFXRbozaH

 

Thing is though, I am old and lazy, and want auto and perfect.

What to do?

The car has been off the road for 10+ years. 

 
The car was striped for restoration, a lot of the parts were kept in a dry garage however the shell was left outside. 

 

That sounds like an eminently sensible thing to do with a bare Mini shell.

OH, NO! It wasn't!!

 

has a couple of minor dents

 

Ugh, that's put me right off. I hate bodywork.

Another indicator that my assessment of the 50s/60s more door saloon market is indeed correct.

This tidy '62 Series 60 De Ville Park Avenue (that means an abbreviated boot to make it city compliant, for those not in the know),

which is seriously rare no matter how you look at it (I really mean that and know what I'm talking about), can be had for under 8 bags for the first time in twenty years.

 

I'd hold out. It's gonna be sub 6k soon.

 

Mark my words. The bottom has dropped out of the big saloons market.

Which is good news if you're after a yank with more than two doors. Or a Jaaaag MK X. Or an Armstrong Siddeley, like I am.

All we have to do now is remain patient.

 

Mark my words again. European Baby Boom saloons will skyrocket. If you want one, buy it now.

The longer you wait, the more unobtainable they'll get.

We have it owned for approximately 7 years and have travelled all over Europe in it until the venerable old Flathead engine breathed it's last!
 
This has now been replaced with a 1998 VVTi Lexus 4 litre V8 and box from our own Lexus LS4000.
 

 

 

Most of the paint has been removed as can be seen in the photos.
 

 

I'm two milliseconds away from murder on impulse.

Good news, Bren, it's a classified ad so you can just buy it outright...

The water pump has gone, which is probably an £11,000 repair bill on these.

The interior needs completing and one or two minor things to get in on the road and lastly a full paint job.

 

This is a perfect opportunity for someone to get a project which is nearly complete for an interesting and desirable classic mini which will definitely turn heads.

 

Selling due to purchasing another mini.

 

 

So basically, the car is fucked has no MOT Dubious modfications and he's bailing out.

 

typical.

I had a call from my slightly posh mate the other day. Saying cast you're mind back to the mid 90's do you remember the Mercedes, which was a coupe but you also got as a convertible but with a 3.2 engine? CLK I say? Yes he replies, well I've got the chance of one for of one with 40,000 miles for a few thousand quid. Oh I say they're not that popular really but you'll probably not lose any money. Really he says I can see them online for 10,000 plus. Are you sure it's a CLK I say?

Err, you said CLK I just agreed. Turns out it's an E320 Convertible, one owner 40,000 miles.

Looking forward to seeing it if he gets it.
