I like the 66 Moggie Minor "woodie" for £8500.
Could be tempted to get it as a replacement for the unloved BMW.

Looks good - and a previous owner has fitted a Type 9 5-speed box... Just what my '76 could have done with...

Well got it home after an eventful journey. About 100 miles in I lost the use of the clutch and pulled into a petrol station. called the AA and was helped by a very nice man (!) who diagnosed a pretty poor bodge to the clutch operating mechanism. There is no clutch cable but there was a rod which had been made up of a couple of bolts ground down and welded together which had snapped at the weld. Clever AA man improvised something similar with a length of threaded rod and that got me home safely. He advises getting someone to fit a clutch cable asap - any thoughts?! Apart from that the car went very well and I enjoyed the drive despite it taking a couple of hours longer than I'd planned!

A pic as it was collected. It's a nice old car with some room for improvement. Has had lots of work in the past and deserves some more!  [/URL]

Bad luck with the clutch. Let's hope there are no more gremlins or bodges.
Best Regards
