Sounds familiar. The Landy is outside with the dash out, because the driver's side washer jet was lacklustre, and the ball pinged out as I adjusted it...

It's a solid harbinger of a harsh winter.

What did I bloody say? I got the dash in, took it to the garage for the MOT, and there it sat while we had a foot of snow.

Just noticed that there is an orange UMM Alter for sale on eBay.

It is very very tempting in a masochistic fashion

I have given the UMM to my hippy brother.

I may have a cross referenced list of parts some where - Peugeot to UMM/ others.... I have always hankered after a Cournil.

Cournils are usually found at unicorn sanctuaries!

Snow fun!

I am hatching an insane plan to buy a station wagon version of the Alter II. Because reasons. The only one I have found so far is a LHD one in Belgium.

they get good money

Classic car prices on the continent always seem high to me. I do not know if the sellers get anything like the prices that they ask. I negotiated with a German seller of a Lotus Elite last year. His asking price was absurd by UK standards but he would not budge. Last I heard the car was still on sale.

In the UK, the bestest UMM ever might go for 3K if you were lucky.

Has it been put to good use in the snow, then? Towing Discoveries out of ditches and suchlike?

I am in London and the UMM is in Oxfordshire, so alas no 4x4 snow fun for me this week. I have done a small amount of urban slithering about in a 1979 Lancia Beta 1600, which with front wheel drive and thin tyres has been OK.

I like the fact that there are two separate mis-spellings on the gearbox plate of the UMM, viz:-




Although the UMM is foogly, it's also kinda cool. I think -
