Yeah, he lives near you in SWF - looked like an accountant too! Didn't buy the strimmer though, but liked my Caterham

I'm a little surprised you didn't try to put him into your Macca F1 as it happens

The F1 still hasn't materialised. I'm not sure if it was a figment of the (well known) dealers imagination or what. Shame as I would of loved to of dealt it. But I know a guy who sourced one for a client, it went off to Woking for a £50k service as part of the deal. uch:

Plus being my accountant he would of known how much I would of made out of selling to him!

A guy came to buy a strimmer from me on Sunday and turned up in a blue T cab with Porsche style Sportomatic gearbox. Apparently ony 15 were made with this (in my experience with Porsche's version - that'd be 15 too many!)

In the flesh IMHO it looks like an aircraft carrier - huge rear deck and surprisingly wide. Also very square. His car had been owned by the McApline family and had only covered 15k miles in its 10 year history. He bought it via the guy who owns Finlay Gorham for £25k.

It was also bubbling in the centre of the trailing edge of the bonnet, just where you'd push down to close it - so much for galvanising.


The lids are aluminium so that bubbling shouldn't be rust.
