Another in Germany at nearly 3 time the price (another Dreamer) or are the dreamers waiting for 3D Printers so they can photo copy there collection of photos'
If you really want one of these great little cars there is no reason not to they are out there just forget what you could pick them up for 5 or 10 years ago
I can remember when petrol was 7 shillings and sixpence not anymore

Hi Any,
All's well I hope.

Just for the fun off this item " new vixen for everybody".
Penny wise and pound foolish, becomes pound wise and euro foolish.
Or the other way around.
This car is an better Sante Claus present IMHO. But what is an advice worth.

And do not pay the asking price.

It's a cable at the mo but I will convert to hydraulic. It's a old 681 block but I
needed a complete engine because of the pinto fitted.

Hi Pete,
Do you have a picture of the slave cilinder on the bell house for hydraulic clutch.
I want to do the same and have not found the right way of fixing (or vixing)
Nice frame color and Nitrons by the way.
Thats a fine piece of cake.

Thanx Pete for this info.
Nice but expensive. (But what is expensive)
Think the home made bracket will work well.
Must say your car is growing well, with all those parcels throug the door. Postman must have a sore back.
