have the seats, you'll need a base from the MMC, but they are a dream compared to the normal Morris ones

put it back to a traveller. two reasons for this: 1) the pickup conversions need proper strengthening 2) the finished article (not that it really matter) will be worth more as it can be compared with others. pick- up conversions rely on finding a buyer who likes it as much as you value it. my two pe...

Learner drivers can gain all the experience they need by using slip roads onto A roads and dual carriageways,the speed limits are the same. agreed. motorway driving is ever so slightly easier than falling off a log. i can't see the argument for post- pass motorway lessons. *wanders away mumbling ab...

1.4d engines have Lucas pumps, good luck :p

£28, seriously? I'd let them keep it if they're that desperate for it!

cheers for rubbing it in

i think i'm going to have to ignore this thread from now on

Ooh, it's got the high cut rear wings

And the car is the one on car and classic. Theres two listings on there with different years listed. One with photos, one without. They are the same car though. Dont know why he listed it twice.

ah well, didn't take long did it:

would YOU buy a car from this man?!!!

Indeed, the long term implications of this could be disasterous to us all, not just the bus queue! ( says he as the owner of a brakeless and un MOT'd A30! Will pre 1960 cars be more desirable?

Unite and Miliband/Balls are of course furious!! Cameron has completely outwitted them. :lol: that's assuming that this was anything but a happy accident that the public reacted the way they did. my personal feeling is that the British public is about as close as you can get to a bunch of feckless ...
