I found this today and thought you lot would appreciate it!!



Click 'enlarge' on the images and prepare to be amazed at the 'qwalitee' job.... *surprised* *happy*
It looks almost beyond saving though - perhaps the opening bid is a little optomistic.... lol

Allegedly "Bought as a project, but now i have a job" - most bizarre reason for selling ever, or am i missing the point of that statement.....?!

not my taste but someone obviously put a bit of work into it in the day.

I quite like the fact that one of the selling points is that someone bought oil for it in 1997

starting bid is high but again, look what scrap cars are getting now

looking at it again, the rear lights have moved and if i'm not mistaken, the boot looks smaller. The roof has something interesting going on aswell - perhaps a bit of a chop?

The rear window is a different size from left to right! The right side looks shorter??!

The whole of the rear end look completely wonky - it's taller one side than the other.

Its not worth £7 let alone £700!

Either that, or they've simply used filler to build the edges up! Actually, the filler seems more the likely story.

Might look like a chunk of crap now, but that's had some wedge spent on it at one point.

Body is basically a mini sprint. Look at the angle of the front screen, and the door and window heights.

This is quite an interesting car, although it looks like the Munsters ordered it.

Presumably the petrol cans in the boot are for torching it to save your poor eyes?

We were discussing this car in the pub last night. It is quite interesting. It's been suggested that it might be a Tickford (see photo below). I'm not convinced though. What is the Coachworks kit you mention Paul?
