That was bid up to silly money very quickly, too quickly maybe :shock:

I wonder if it sold for more or less than the £15k high bid :?

how to make a mini handle lesson one

1) get the biggest heaviest battery you can find and mount it 8" higher than it should be.

Not quite a set of 4, more like a pair of pairs. Two are from 1977 and slightly thinner more rounded fins, two are from 1979 and have squared off fins. I'll take my Longman anorak off now.

Also the blasting has taken the cut finish off the rims and fins.

Wow :o I'd love an early GT but not if I'd got to pay 20 grand for one in jigsaw puzzle form :shock:
I'd personally want one in a bright, snazzy 1970s colour, not turd brown. Is that one even the same shade all over? The doors look mis-matched.
A lot of work still to do there for sure but they are a bit scarce now.
