Glass washer bottle present. That'll add £500.

Double kickplates is a new one! At least the door cards aren't upside down.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Pity they don't fit those kickplates on modern cars, would hide all those muddy scuff marks that you can never completely remove from black plastic...

Try this it really does remove those marks but don't use too much
Works on Rubber mats too.

I think it is plastic, but...'The bodywork is stable'
Does that mean ferric and ferrous oxide has nowhere to go?

This one is always good for a chuckle - https://www.ebay.com/itm/MG-MIDGET-SPRI ... xyTkJSQLoZ

It was listed around the time I got the racecar at the end of 2013 and has been on there since. In that same time period I tried selling two 2" main 1098s. I only wanted $100 for each and both ran - ended up giving one away and scrapped the other.

I doubt a 10CG engine like that is very sought after. The later 10CC engines with the 2inch main bearings are a worthwhile base though. My daughter had one in her Morris Minor and it was a great little engine. They tend to be overshadowed by the 1275 of course and, as you say, often don't fetch much money ;)

It's almost like they just screwed the bonnet badge, number and chassis plates to an 80s or 90s Mini ;)

And it has an “RC30 exhaust “ quite an achievement, isn’t that the Honda Superbike ?

£2600 for an utterly f*ck*d 850 shell.

"I know it needs work and it is a challenge but this is such an important piece of British motoring history and must be saved" Haha, YEAH M8. :lol:
