One of us REALLY ought to buy them - just for display purposes of course.

You can laugh, but there's probably someone with a rusted-out Mini Minus who needs a set of them.

sooo, erm, I live in France, and getting a car that's been only slightly modified on the road is like going to war with the administration.. and yet, in England, this is road-legal?

I wonder what the insurance would be like for this "Leyland Mini GT"..

Metal master cylinder cap anyone

I sold one on Ebay.com about 4 weeks ago and it sold for $144 cdn...90 pound, mine was the 130mph speedo...Some people have way to much money...

I'm sure that Rich could find a use for those GRP sills on one of his plastic fantastic's.

Its really hard to find replacement panels for GRP cars that have suffered from the dreaded plastic worm

Hey, I'm in Denmark and was wondering exactly the same thing.
Anybody care to comment?

Here's a good one

It's like you putting your house on eBay and saying,

"For sale - house in England. Please contact me for more details!"

Could be a few treasures down there for someone into there bikes.

Doesn't bode too well when the "feature item" is a crappy 1980 OMZ!

A lad at work twenty odd years ago had one of those crappy eastern European bikes. We used to give him loads of stick about it, then some fool nicked it! He got even more stick then.

This lot looked interesting.......

If it was proved that that collection of random bits & bobs was ever a works engine I'd happily eat the lot.

940 head, thin flange 1275 block, X drilled late 1275 crank, 190 (1071 S) gearbox casing, 649 cam, when most works cars used a 510. No engine number tag.

Just a random collection of crap as far as I can see.

I wonder what some plonker offered him for it?

I was watching it for the 190 box, it bid over £500 then it looks like all bids were cancelled and he's sold it off eBay. No doubt someone has gone daft with the spurious ex works tale! A fool and his money.......

Wasn't everybody?

Would be interesting to know what the reg of the works car was that the logbook was sold for

Yes I agree! Has anyone asked him I wonder??

Did the comps dept not continue the practice of putting a strap over the core plugs? I know some "works" engines had this feature, I owned one myself many years ago - One of those things I really should've kept .
