That stirs up a long lost memory - the driver's door nearly fell off my 19. I heard a clonk and thought nothing of it, got to work and got out to find the door hanging on one hinge and about to drop. The pin had fell out of the bottom hinge and was luckily lying on the ground.

I picked my cousin and his wife up who were visiting from New Zealand. When he opened the passenger side door it just flopped off onto the road the top pin had broken as he opened it.  It probably wasn't even that old then, this would have been 1994 and the car was an G reg. 

Mine also used to diesel like crazy when you shut it off. You couldn't leave it in gear or it would start moving of it's own accord.

I parked next to the Fotu one. It was same colour combination but a different car 

EDIT: It doesn't show on the resolution when you upload the photo on here but the fotu one is an X reg

Bit of a bargain that for a Midi with a long test.  I had a LWB version years ago with the turbocharged version of that engine - that was a great old van although it suffered from the usual Japanese van problem of there being almost no discernible difference between 4th and 5th, with the result that it got a bit loud at motorway speeds.

Removed the roll bar... Is this going to twist and twirl like an old Rover 100 floppytop?

What's the opposite of polishing a turd? This bloke has achieved it. Feckin clown

Looks a bargain for £2500

That does look good. No obvious rust. It can’t be that hard to get running properly.

Car still runs and drives however seems to be an issue with it, unsure what the problem is.

Wooden Car Body Kit Car

Quote

Wooden car body.  Found this in my father in law’s garage so know nothing about it.  Probably from the 1960s?  Never been finished, no idea if it’s a kit car or something else.  It’s not a Marcos as I’ve asked the owners association.  All wooden except the metal subframe which I’m told is from a BMC 1100 mounted behind the driver, possibly supposed to have 13” wheels.  Clearly never been finished but nicely made.  Some sort of home made kit car possibly, or something more interesting?

Length 9 feet, width 4 feet 6 inches.  It is quite heavy, currently sitting on a trailer which is not included but helps with moving it.

Seems a shame to cut it up and dump it.

I wouldn't bet on that.  I had one in Cyprus and it was a pig to tune.  Felt like it had blocked jets somewhere, but we never found a blockage.  All that said though, I'd have another like a shot.

They do seem to suffer with jet problems - mine never has though luckily.

A couple of good filters on the fuel line, an elbow adaptor on the manifold and an HIF6 SU carb would see that running.

That Humber is glorious, I've always wanted one of those.  Price is a bit salty for a weldathon, but I suppose these days it's not unusual.  I'm seeing many more at much higher figures, with no significant advantage over this one.  They aren't getting any younger or more common!

Does it have what looks like a distillery in the back?

Distillery? It’s a pub. Kegs, CO2 cylinders , taps and chiller. At best you’re getting empty kegs.
