That and the Norfolk tractor are the most interesting in my blinkered view

Is that a pair of fluffy dice spotted in the Dolly?

Good luck with the sale, they're both lovely old things - having a clear out in order to buy more cack? smile
Cheers. The dice now live in my UMM which I gave to my brother for Xmas.

Clear out yes, but no purchases in view. Major (hopefully positive) life changes afoot.

And good luck from me as well. It's been a fantastic and very enjoyable thread.

Just to add it's also lovely to read a thread about old British cars without the usual bhing of rust bucket and crap. These are the cars I remember and I really cannot see a classic car collection of Renault Scenics at a car rally on 30 years.

Cheers all. If I keep one and store it should it be the Dolomite or the Lotus? At present, the Dolomite is the one most likely to reach £10K first*, although longer term the Lotus may overtake it in a few years, but I don't buy for investment value. I do love the Dolly, and it is BL, but I also have a serious 70s Lotus fetish. It is one of my biggest regrets that I sold the 1972 Europa Special that suggested my PH name. It is in a collection in Hong Kong and probably never turns a wheel.

I also love Italian cars, but the Lancia isn't going to stay.



* I have seen a few Sprints advertised at 10K plus, but I reckon that the best one in the world isn't quite worth 10K yet. The alleged best Eclat in the world is on sale for well over 10K, but probably won't get that.

I could possibly take the bike with me where I am going (or have it sent there in a container).

If I had the space I would have either the Lancia or the Dolly (and possibly both) in a heartbeat.
