That van is excellent and fairly priced I think. Nice to see a car that hasn't had a tax exempt swap either.

Does this belong to someone on here?

Project looks familiar, anyway a terrible shame the owner can't finish it now.

Looks like we have exhausted the barn finds, onto the next big thing, Garden finds:

The advert has been pulled (or the car sold), was it the Surf Blue Morris Cooper S, the ex AA test car?

Another Surf Blue car here :

"The number plate is on a retention certificate, and also comes with the driver's handbook, logbook where the name Tommy Sopwith appears twice. The car is thought to be his former car"

Not by Tommy Sopwith it isn't! :roll:

FOR SALE!

This very rare Dromedary, is believed to have once been the property of Sir Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith, he rescued it from the North African desert in around 1910 & once it was fitted with twin Vickers Machine Guns it made a formidable fighting machine.

It is strongly believed to be the original

SOPWITH CAMEL.

Yes Pete, that is the AA test car. It is a very genuine wee car but when I tried to buy it back in 2011 the owner Tommy Kyle wanted to turn the sale into an auction by telling me he had an offer above the asking price from someone local. Further when it was advertised it had a Northern Ireland registration and when I viewed the car it was on an English registration. I found that odd :?:

Yes BJO...C ? Can't remember now, but when it was discussed on the old MCR forum (before that went down the tubes) we found a website in Japan dedicated to it's Japanese twin which was BRG in colour but had the same chassis number and same reg on it's bonnet.

I know - even if the car was the one for me I wouldn't buy it on principle of the guy's terrible attitude! He mustn't want to sell it with a attitude like that and frankly cr@p photos.

That's got to be a early one as from 1913 they were factory fitted with twin humps and a water cooler
