That is the cheap one unfortunately, they can go for about £400 !
It's in great nick, no rust... but its worth spending £40 on filler, primer and paints and see what I can bodge up myself. |

Thankfully the UK insurance companies are used to classic cars and car clubs and it's easy to get cheaper cover

Feels like ages ago since I bought her! |

Forgot to say, now have an aeronautical professional spraybooth to use any time I want (The joys of knowing people who run that certain area), access to powdercoating, welding, any sort of metalwork, and a Capri nutter in Glasgow who's dropping a V8 in one. I think I'm quite sorted for the project ahead.

So she's still not here, our initial plan was to put the front wheels on basically an a-frame trailer, and just put the back wheels on the road.
Well that's illegal I have found out !! So now trying to surce a car trailer/flatbed truck. Nightmare. On the other hand, I have had the opportunity to buy a Prodrive WRC seat out of an old Impreza - tempted to custom-make some mounts ad fit it because the front drivers seat is buggered anyway... we'll see. |

1 month on from purcahse...
Bad news - Still no car : ![]() Good news - Found a trailer! Should be here within the next 2 weeks, roll it on! I was pretty shocked though... I checked insurance for the 280 Brooklands today, which is a 2.8 litre limited edition model... and for anyone living in the UK... imagine insurance for a 17 year olf on a 2.8... Was pleasently suprised to find out it was only £300 more than the 1.6, at £1700 a year!!! Must not be tempted.. |
