Well its on e-bay for a quick sale anyone with £1800 will get a bargain, the 1380 engine must be worth that.

Is it sold

No its not sold.
I withdrew it from the auction as I found I have broken the gear linkage moving the shell around the garage.
Once I have the engine refitted and the car tested it wil be up for sale agan.
Oh and I have fitted a genuine close ratio 1275gt gearbox as well which should improve the acceleration times along with the 1380.
I may change my mind about selling once I have had a spin in it though.

You probably will change your mind

I was wondering if the car is still available at the advertised £1800 as I have an e-mail that states you now want £2200? Will £1800 still buy it? Confused!

Have you still got your coupe & is it for sale? Jim.

Back on ebay............

I've placed my bid

15 miles from me

Its not mine anymore, the guy who bought it from me is now selling it again.

Just 10 from me, Tim!

I thought i was the only one in this neck of the woods I'm 3miles south of Bury St Eds. There was a guy at Bungay with a red top powered Coupe on the old forum but he seems to have done a Lord Lucan

I'm in Sible Hedingham, Tim. Just over the border beyond Sudbury.

You can't be far from Mick Jennings scrap yard, the only one i've ever been to with a rolling road and a crank balancer

You could say that..... about 500yards.

I know Mick and Phil very well. I've been using Mick's yard for over 30 years. His engineering skills are just awesome. He was NASA Autograss Champion in 1980 in a Cooper Pick-up. Then he built a 4WD, 4WS, BDA engined Fiesta. The same BDA currently sits on a motorcycle-style gearbox with a chain primary drive and FI gears (all designed by Mick and cast by Taylors Foundry at Haverhill) in the rear of a Mini Pick-Up.

He was the first person I ever saw do a knife-edge crank, years ago. With an angle grinder...initially! His balancing skills are simply second to none. He used to do a lot of balancing for a 'well-known-Essex-engine-building-firm' and his work ended up in WRC cars for a major manufacturer.... LOL!

He lightened and balanced the flywheel on my Libra too. £75, I think it was.

Small world. Perhaps we should meet for a drink in Sudbury or similar.

I've used Mick several times for balancing and been on his rollers too, the quality of his work from such "interesting" surroundings has to be seen to be believed

A drink when the weather improves sounds like a good idea Perhaps you could pm me a contact no.
