Is sadly in the paper as a "suit project or tidy up".. and will be leaving my life this week for about £400 ..doubtless to be canibalised for parts and then scrapped.

I just don't have the space or time for the car anymore so its better someone else takes on the challenge before "Moe" rots quietly away to pieces before my eyes

:big sigh:
Matt.

It’s a shame when the time comes to sell cars that you’ve spent loads time on. When did you last drive it?

Still getting in the chimera must make you feel better!

I’ve still got my first mini taking up garage space, and to be honest I think that will go soon so I can put the Griff in there.

My Second Mini, Fred, is still with me too after 28 months standing around, still in one piece though.

Wish I had the time to sort her out. She looks sadder by the day

I feel for you M.

Iremember when I sold Beavis (first mini, first car: brown, black roof&stipes, looked like a liquorish alsort), I was gutted.

Not exactly a good home either. He was used for grass tracking. t'wos a heroic death I suppose.
