FFS Rene, these prices are getting out of hand but good luck to anyone who has these parts and sells them for these unbelievable prices.

A nice complete looking Crayford Convertible, it's even got an SPQR gear selector.

The seller of the Crayford is the same person as was selling the 2 police Cooper S's a few weeks ago.

Also one of the two "Transworld Mini's" can be seen in the background of the 4th photo.

Nothing escapes to the lynx'eyes of mab ...

I sold the crayford last week, the guy is using pictures taken at my house hence the transworld minis in the background, I also sold him the two police cooper s a couple of weeks ago.

Has anybody seen this?

Interesting thing that!

I somehow doubt the dubious Mini connection though.

I've heard an awful lot of interesting (and mostly factual) stories over the years regarding development of the Mini but none relating to such an engine OR rear wheel drive.....

Fabricating the exhaust would have been interesting in a transverse installation wouldn't it and where would the gearbox have gone?

Might be for a minor.

Errrm.....

I think the reference to a morris minor is a plausible reason for its existence as I believe Issigonis originally intended his 'mosquito' to have a flat four engine but was told to use the nuffield parts bin for engines etc...

Am I crazy or is this still cheap?

It's cheap if big rusty prams are your thing.

This is a Downton car belonging to and being driven by Michelle Burns-Greig :

Though she was from the Scottish Borders and rubbed shoulder with Stewart, Clark et al she was dating race driver Roy "The Weasel" James of The Great Train Robbery infamy and this car was built by Downton. Whilst the car was in their workshop one day for work (according to Barry Hawkins) the place was surrounded by the Police and the car was taken apart in search of the loot!

Bit of background info there!
