ETCHY Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Bloody good job TripleRich, thanks for the info & the pics of the Consul GT. Also thanks for saving a bit of my & a lot of others childhood. That car was the other star of the Sweeney.

(also with FGH being "dead" since 1969 its questionable if the DVLA would of still had records on it or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramz7 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Apparently those Reliant drawings were discovered at a former specialists premises a few months back, after the proprietor died. Or so that's what I was told, by my Scimitar loving work colleague (the one with the Ogle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebullet Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I keep going to go to one of these things, then remember it's take out a mortgage for a bad coffee at the NEC. So ta for the pics, I'm too tight / poor to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Speed Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I went on Saturday. Spent a lot of time surrounded by Citroens and seem to have missed a few things when I went walk about. So thanks for sharing the pictures. I paid £2 for a really tasty sausage roll which made me very happy. Otherwise spent nothing. Nearly spent £13k on the Edsel though! An absolute bargain compared to £70k for an Escort which I’m sure was lovely but... well, it’s only ever going to be an Escort. I can never get past the Friskies without stopping. I got so absorbed this time people started asking me things as if I belonged there. No idea how much on of those would cost.

brownnova Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Decided against going this year due to costs... Slightly regretting it now looking at the pics! Talk of a Yugo OC stand next year.

Amishtat Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The Edsel seemed quite a reasonable price to me, even more so once I'd had a snout around some of the other dealers' stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-J330FN using Tapatalk Built in 1977, it's likely a Speke factory build. So possibly yes! Maybe why it's so few miles, rejected at the dealer?
