I wondered whether or not it was the original shell... beyond that, not sure. Does seem a bit strange!

(It was an inconsistent selection of bits with it - quite a few wrong parts and a lot missing, but you could see that from the photos)

His careful wording "it is a correct early shell" certainly suggested to me that it isn't THE original shell. Also, looking carefully at the photos, I reckon there is a LOT of work needed to the body before it is ready for paint.....

Was that "for the works Anorak" or "is the works anorak"

As for the Deep Sanderson for me it is the most pretty mini derivative

Spring is here in Australia. Official.

You can tell when the mokes start appearing in droves on eBay. (Not sure if that is the collective noun for a lot of mokes though)

A couple of the early ones in there.

It's been relisted before too. I'm really surprised it hasn't sold yet too, most registered mokes are for sale closer to $15,000.. If I bought it more than likely I'd have to sleep in it, and a mokes not the best vehicle to have when you're in the dog house!

It's around £2000 too...

About AU$2300, plus import duties and insurance. Does not include UK vehicle testing and MOT etc.

That was a 'quick quote' from Taurus logistics for RoRo shipping.

I guess it can be cheaper for containerised but is more hassle at both ends.

Car must be drivable for this service.

There are many more....
