I look at this and think it needs recomissioning not reconditioning. Providing the floors aren't falling through.
No room or time in the Inn unfortunately.

Re: EBay Finds
Where as this may be pretty, I'm pretty sure a thumb push on many of those bits would make big holes. A lovely looking thing.

Re: EBay Finds
Slowly coming down in price. Same price as what I let my MGB GT go for.
Not sure I'd have as much fun with it as my BGT though.

Re: EBay Finds
That Frogeye looks remarkably original, hasn't fallen far from the tree with that Berkshire reg. either. Nice!

Re: EBay Finds
I really want it but need to find some additional storage. Ideally not £77pcm extra on already I'm paying twice for the 2 bays I have.

Re: EBay Finds
Yes, precisely why I am cutting down. There is no way I can find storage as cheap as what I have been paying so reluctantly time to move on....

Re: EBay Finds
I complain about £180 a quarter for a bone dry council garage. It's just full of stuff that I never use but can't bear to throw it all away. I can't even remenber the last time I was there.

Re: EBay Finds
My council one is £73 a month. It is very dry and being in a crescent of lockups I have the centre one with extra width, I can actually get out of the Cowley either side. Unfortunately they are too short to park the Chrysler in - the 280SE I had used to bend the up-and-over door outwards slightly!
It is full of other shit too - bicycles, furniture, Minor spares etc. It is not exactly a salubrious part of town either although there are some good neighbours there who have called me on occasion when worried about something.
Council aren't renting any more out either - crazy given the demand and number that they have around.

Re: EBay Finds
Ignoring the hideousness, the depreciation on these must be huge. A bit like a Bentley CGT, I don't think it will be long before they're on the roughest council estate/pub/etc significantly devaluing the image of them.

Re: EBay Finds
I wonder how long it'll be before a major service costs more than it's worth?SiC wrote: Wed Jan 15, 2025 2:16 pm Ignoring the hideousness, the depreciation on these must be huge.
