Nice selection of cars. What'on the board, business cards of all the garages that worked on his car?

Great pics MatT, any chance you have details of the 'for sale' Super Minx?

[Mat.T]

Super Minx had no phone number, I think the owner was sat on a deck chair near by, which isnt much of a help now.As for those boards it is a complete mystery what they are for, appart from ruining my photos.

Looks like a proud display of rally plaques to me I've got quite a collection of these myself from all the rallies/shows that I've been to over the years.

an ill-matched pair of boards can give a much-needed touch of shite to even the shiniest of cars :

[michiel]

Ah, plaques. The only other item I could think of yesterday was beer bottle labels...

[Mash]

I hate those boards, they make photos look pants. I want to see the car not how many bloody shows they've been to since 1994. I mean they're not actually prizes either, only souvenirs. Adds no interest or merit to the vehicle whatsoever.That Avenger estate is worthy of a ZOMG however

I can answer that, I asked the old boy the other week when i saw it at Walton (That's was the third show i'd seen it at this year) and he wanted £6000 for it, I nearly fell over when he told me, It may be mint but not that mint.

 

 

Looks like it was a good show, I when to the nationals instead, the last car show i went to in Clacton only had 30 cars at it.

Ive got a whole pile of those stupid plaques from shows gone by , dont seem to get them so much now , shame as most are brass and my scrap pile was almost worth a quid or two.

[pogweasel]

Six grand, for a super minx? What is the world coming to....Were it a drop-top then furry muff, but a saloon...?

[trigger]

I agree, I nearly chocked on my Mr Wippy when i asked him, you can see the price on the picture above, £5950, Shocking stuff.

 

I also like the way he's added 'The Best' on the For Sale sign in the back window then stuck a Halfords 1.6 badge on the back. Cock.

 

 

And £1900 for this!, I would of been all over it, Seem's like a bargain to me, and much rarer than your average Mini, Lush .

[Rusty Pelican]

I know of an Imp van thats just been shipped over from NZ , with import duty , shipping costs etc , total price , just short of £15,000 , Super Minx is cheap by that standard.
