[austinisuseless]

let me guess, another six wheeled bus that guzzles diesel more than a coupl of Eddis Stobbart trucks doing 60 mph through Europe?

[guru_1071]

nope

it will fit on the pink one

it also has a connection with my previous purchase

[austinisuseless]

Mini Marcos, Unipower 1275GT, Midas Mini Bronze, no, Gold?

[guru_1071]

a unipower?

its rarer than one of them!

same period

[Pandora]

ah but remember Rich - exclusivity is rarely a sign of desirability.

I recall my old bosses response to an owner of a unique Ferrari who was extoling it's dubious virtues:

"ah yes, it's rare, but you must realise that if it was actually any good, they'd have had to make more of them!"

This didn't go down all that well I seem to recal, but at least we didn't have it cluttering up the place for years waiting for a buyer who'd never come.

but as to what you've bought - not another guessing game!

[austinisuseless]

A fast back mini? it's here somewhere,

?

[chris-pilling]

a dirty green nomad? rich, how do you juggle all these projects?

[mk1]

I don't know this time, but I suspect it could be a matt yellow "kit car".

[Pandora]

Marina handles strike again.........?

[guru_1071]

it actually doesnt have marina door handles!

ive bought a proper 'mk1' cox gtm

its a long term project and will go straight into storage, but with the value of early kit cars on the up i thought it was a worth while purchase

will take a pic later

[Pandora]

lovely! but you should retro fit the door handles anyway.

i think Jamie (ceejam) has an early one too.

[guru_1071]

it only has a handle on the drivers side - i think its a mgb boot one

[Vegard]

Rich, here's a kit car that'd suit you like a glove:

i have to wonder what exactly you type into ebay to find cars of that calibre

it has a. er. strong look that suits you well.

is that what your comming over here to buy?

I think the registration sums it up.
