Apologies for the Antipodean orientation….😂arriving early in the New Year. Amazingly solid, but DO NOT PAINT bodywork. Engine as quiet as a dead mouse….

Somebodies bought a car off the grumpy man 😆, tbf the stock he gets in is amazing. I must buy one a week off him in my head! Was the HA Viva saloon in when u were up? And was it as good as it looks?

Wow, just wow. I love it! Excellent buy. Quite the collection you've got there too. I'm in awe,sir. I've had no dealings with the "grumpy man" but you describe him just as I envisage him. You can tell from his ads that he doesn't suffer fools. Looking forward to more about the Austin. I often wonder when I look at ads what kind of home the car will end up in. This one's obviously found a good one.

That’s the one…… previous owner before Mr Grumpy. He’s made a few bob out of me if that’s what he paid for it, but I don’t begrudge that. I think I still got a bargain 

Must admit his prices are definatly good

Who's Mr Grumpy?

I don't think he is grumpy really. I went to buy a car off him but he was asking too much for what it was and how it was. When I said it wasn't for me his attitude changed a bit. So whenever his name comes up I say he was grumpy. Probably he's alright really, and the stock he gets in is ace. Anyhow, as you were lads 😁

But who is he? A dealer, I'm guessing?
