that kingfisher has been on a few times, its odd looking, but in quite a cool way, it sort of looks like a bastard love child between a Datsun 240z and a Aston DB7 - with a bit of marcos in the mix as well.

with a bit more work I think it would look a lot better - and im not a fan of the mini marcos shape at all

This guy never appears to turn a wheel when it comes to selling his seemingly vast stock. His adverts for the same cars must have been running for nigh on 2 years as far as I can see. Definitely asks strong money for what looks like generally average cars. Really puzzling?? He must have some other means fo paying his overheads

Those two W&Ps have been there for six or seven years, they were inside that shed when I went to look at a Mk2 Cooper back in June 2010, which itself had also been there for a couple of years and is still there now, priced much higher than it was in 2010!

Edit ; from memory, I'm sure one of those W&P Clubbies had some serious rot showing around the edge of the roof guttering...

I bet the people who stamped these out years ago would have a right laugh

He has a Mk2 Cooper up for £20k been there a long time. It appears to have been converted to dry so not even original spec' which is a must for that money. I wonder what his business model is like such that having such a large overpriced stock sitting for so long makes sense. Maybe doesn't need the money and its just a hobby ?

I seam to remember when I went to look at the W&P cars, on the way to the Brands Mini Festival a couple of years ago, that they sell Chinese scooters and mopeds.
The 10" wheel W&P has the odd dent in it and some rot near the arch extensions. As they are metal this would cost a bit to put right. It also has one of those naff oval rear windows and the interior is bright green! The 12" car had a bit more rot on it, but at least it had a standard rear window and a better looking cream interior.
The Mk2 Cooper keeps going up in price, it started at £10,000 about 5 years ago.

Proper or no?

Do you suppose he deliberately misspells them as Patel to avoid problems??
