How cute is that Daihatsu Compagno?

Keep up the good work.

The reg on the Maxi is perfect for that colour.

I have much wants for this, even more so if it had been a manual.

I think people need to take this into consideration when selling a classic that's been customised:

I came across this modded Escrot for sale on Ebay for the ridiculous price of 13,500 pounds. The thing I don't think many people understand is that it's been to modified to your liking, with your wheels, the engine that you chose, so when you list it for 13 bags you need to keep in mind "Ok, I've made changes to the car. Not many buyers are going to like it as it isn't standard, as well as it's being modified to my specific taste." and so forth. But ignoring this and taking the piss with the price, labelling it as a "one-off" isn't going to interest buyers. I would put the standard parts back on the car if I was in the owners shoes (a bit difficult with the engine so perhaps include the original with the listing), & list the tuning parts as added extras in the sale, sold with the car for an increased total selling price if requested by the buyer. 

I know this is a mini-rant, but I wish people would take this into consideration.

I wonder if he's just had enough, and can't be arsed spending any more time knowing that it will never be a 2 door.
