what, no pictures? 
Sorry but 52 yrs ago I was only 14 and didn't think of taking any...not that I had a camera to take them with 
and ow, black and white pictures still, so no strange color to see sadly, although scrolling through my old pictures as a kid, some are in color beginning of the 70-tish
Some of us have been keen on photography since childhood though. I took photos in Portsmouth Dockyard in Navy Days 1955 (Kodak Brownie with roll 126 film), and changed to 35mm about 1963 using a Pentax, then digital in 2002. Here are a couple of photos of grass track racing at Meonstoke in 1971. I used an Olympus Trip 35, but now use Nikon D4 and lenses up to 400mm.
And the difference forty years on in 2011:-

Not time to read the thread but just spotted that Car and Classic has one which finishes today and currently £10,250
They all seem to have been in Ireland at some point lol, that one is Irish registered, this one has been there too. big jump to 19000 euro now. The guy has been ill, and a little deaf, but we got a provisional next weekend to dig it out. Got more info though. sort of.
Won,t be going straight to mot, he started on the brakes, so in bits, had a turn and not finished. got it running though.
The car is its original shade of grey, was painted more than 20 years ago at a cost of 3k, lot of money back then for a small car, he mentioned it needing a small repair on rear panel, and attention to the seats.
It is a 1966 I am told, and a 1200TT. A uk supplied RHD car
Then he threw a curve ball, another TT, race/track car, that is very quick and capable, but it is an Audi. I am guessing a MK1 coupe, with a Bam engine, forgot to ask if it was road legal, no idea what to do with or value that lol, but looks like it is coming too.

Today got cancelled lol, he really wants to fix the brakes first, poor health and poor weather are hindering this, but got more info on the car.
He bought it from the first UK owner, many years ago, it only has 2 recorded keepers, the first, and him twice, has a comprehensive history file. It also had 1 owner in Ireland between his stints.It has covered an apparently genuine 54k.It is a genuine 1200TT, UK RHD supplied, and though he has raced and rallied 1200 TT, S, this one escaped that fate, and has always been a road car.
Intersting story with the Audi too, it is road legal, and currently mot tested, from what I can work out from the long phone chat, it is a very early car, not available with the engine spec in the UK at launch, apparently, so was ordered in RHD, in Germany, and the buyer waited several months for it. declared new at first registration though, so I am told.
It either has had, or is eligible, for an MSA log book, I know little, nothing lol, about these things and getting exact info is hard with him on the phone.
He says it is a sorted, quick, track weapon, with 2 crash helmets on the seats, ready to go, sadly age and health means he will not use it anymore.
He has added a couple of bikes to the list, 1969 Suzuki AS50, I think he said, and an NSU Quickly, a moped I believe. A 2019 Aprilla of some sort, no idea what lol.

The Suzuki AS50 seems to be a 50cc 2-stroke, probably a distant predecessor to the AP50 moped we got here in the 70s. The NSU Quickly will also be a 50cc 2-stroke but with pedals being a moped. And either a 2 or 3 speed gearbox depending on the model operated by a twist-grip on the left of the handlebars. Neither is worth much, but the Suzuki might be the more valuable as not so many Japanese bikes sold in the UK in the 60s. The full-scale invasion began in the 70s!Mr Tidy said:

NSU quickly’s are pretty good fun little mopeds. We’ve got a 20cc Moto Guzzi moped, I love it, it’s incredibly cute!Mr Tidy said:

Thanks for the infoMint bikes do make a few quid, nothing like cars though, which have gone bonkers in recent years. falling back a bit now though, and the Classic Ford balloon has deflated somewhat, not burst, but big drops on some over inflated models. The MK1 Lotus Cortina, for instance, the 100k price tags are long gone, but they were hitting it for a while.
3 door coswoths and Lotus carltons seem to be an exception, still holding up, series 1 Escort turbo, and cosworth too.
I left a number on a scruffy,battered Escort Cosworth, with a ratty interior, out of test but taxed, parked on a London street.
