Probably parked at Beaulieu/MCR meeting

i fail to see how those parts are a random collection of crap . They all seem hard to find items to me and if used on one or two projects , more than usefull.

Not so, he didn't sell any of it and is apparently relisting seperately.

You are of course absolutely correct. IF used on a selection of different projects there are indeed some interesting bits there, but to claim that this collection of disparate items was ever a coherent & complete engine from a Works Mini is laughable.

now this one is a bit confusing

What about this one:

"THESE COOPER S GEARBOXES ARE VERY RARE AND EVEN RARER WITH A CLOSE RATIO 22G1040 COOPER S GEARSET."



A couple of weeks ago there was an 1128 box with a 22G1040 laygear which didn't sell at first and didn't sell when it was relisted. £120

Was this a 'works' tank, it didn't look familiar ?

No idea on the tank but it looks like he will be listing a Minisprint soon according to his advert

There was a Special Tuning tank available in 10 or 13 1/4 gallon sizes. I believe that is one of the 10 gallon types but having never seen one I can't be sure. I wanted that tank and was watching it expecting it to go for stupid money, I was out when the auction ended so I'm quite annoyed it was so cheap now! I have seen the 13 1/4 gallon type sell for over £700. I would be pleased if someone could tell me that one was a fake!

You dont have to be annoyed, becourse of the 147 pound end price.

If the winner had a high reserve, were you only going to push up the price, if you had startet bidding.

Should I be sharing these then









They are original Special Tuning items and came in two sizes, this is the larger one. Looks like the one on ebay was the smaller one. Side note, they are alloy.

Those are interesting pictures, there isn't much information about these tanks that I could find. Yours looks just like the one on ebay, only bigger. That's why it really surprises me that it sold so cheaply.

About as much chance of this not being a scam as running over a kangaroo in Weymouth...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150811279261? ... 1438.l2649

Actually, there are quite a lot of Kangaroo's around Weymouth, but that's the Weymouth in Australia, like that Mini. It still has its Victorian plates on, and the photo is clearly an Australian back yard.

Here's the original ad on ebay, back when it didn't look like it was a scam.

Now being sold by a Mr 'Jonas Reimeris', that well known Lithuanian kangaroo tamer from Dorset , who requires a £6K direct bank transfer and insists on it being delivered unseen to the buyer, shock horror.

There is a MiniWorld with a white "rallylook" car on the cover..It has these "long distance" tank..
