A pair of manky red garden find Sherpas.  Not being sold by the same person, surprisingly.  Slidey door goodness on the 200.

Perhaps it's just some kind of incredible sleeper, capable of doing 150+mph at 1250rpm?

The back ground picture )of the garages) to that Marina van look really familiar.  Is that a 'shiter's house? Not @triggerI know but something rings a bell.

Very belated but they belong to a guy called Tony who has about 30 of them as well as a load of old Fords and Tractors and more recently Internet famous for owing the Minder Capri which recently caught on fire.

Reliant Rebel same wheelbase as an mx5

Starting bid:  £1,250

"This was one of the nicest Rebels, it was beautifully restored."  Presumably that was some time ago.

"There are videos of the restoration on youtube. The car was operational before being put into storage but I have lost my storage and have no time to recommission it. There are 2, very different cars, a saloon and an estate.  They were my pride and joy until I built my ultimate Rebel.

The Reliant Rebel has the same wheelbase as a Mazda MX5."  Why is that important?

"The car is solid and just wants a bit of love.  It has GAZ adjustable Gold Pro shocks too 😎  Engine is not seized and wheels are not stuck."

Possibly important if you want to saw the bottom out and graft in the floorpan and mechanicals from the MX5?

It would be more of a Rebel then, unless some other Rebel owner has already done that?

Poor thing, the oil pump seized on the next owner whilst on the A14, the bottom end started rattling and it smoked badly and it ended up sat in a garage yard for the next 7 years, I've seen a photo of it running and it's fucked!

I want to meet the seller. I think he'd make an excellent case study. I want to know exactly what happens in a man's life leading up to the point that he has to evict a tramp in order to sell his rusty Rover 400.

Years ago I sold a bnos packet of Bisto with a British Rail offer on it from 1978, can't remember what it went for but there was a bidding war on it!!! The winner didn't even want the contents!!! 

Guess what I've only gone and found another exact same  twin pack!!!! 

Form an orderly queue please 🤣🤣

Worth it just for the boot badge

The rear badge starts off well, and then devolves into what appears to be my GP's signature.

I just like the use of two l/h (or are they r/h) clusters for both tail lights.

Tail light lenses (and most other parts) were unobtainable when I was involved with these 30 years ago and that was a very minor problem in the scheme of things.  It looks like a nice early survivor, but should anyone be thinking about it, just don't.
