Series 1 advice
Hi Very Happy I'm after some advice please regarding a series 1 I've been to see this morning,it's been sat in a barn for over 60 years,apparently it was there grandfathers,what sort of amount would I need to budget for getting it back on the road,I'm sure it's going to be like opening a can of worms,it looks pretty good in the flesh and the price they want for it is reasonable,they've given me first refusal on it,I'm going to have a think about it today and decide whether to purchase or not,however if I don't I will pass on the details to anyone who maybe interested, Thumbs Up Paul Tash n Barney

Ps it looks like the guy has modified it with the steering wheel in the middle but I should think that can be rectified Whistle

Nice find, stick a hard top on it and I reckon you could get some use out of it. Don't pay a lot for it as I don't reckon it's very practical as it is....

To be fair I think you made the right decision, just look at the fit of the wings too, shocking....

It was only fit for attaching a cage and using for a trials vehicle anyway!
Plenty more where they came from.

I only found a similar one last week...... Whistle Laughing 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"
