I've just been told no way. I was, however told that if I want a mid life crisis car, get another bloody Landrover :lol:

Of that was road legal, I'd so drive that to work for S--- and giggles
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner

Does this work rich:
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

ebay seller wrote: Hi, this is a 99p start auction for this one of a kind caterpillar run out fair ride.

This was a genuine one off barn find

This was used for school fates and summer fairs etc

Since getting the caterpillar back to our garage she has had work carried out to the engine, head and valves, carb, Ignition Plugs, Leads, Cap, Points, Condenser, Reconditioned SU fuel Pump, Fuel Tank, Fuel Lines with filter, Clutch Plate, Slave and Master Cylinders, Radiator. She is now a turn key warrior.

This one of a kind stills needs a little TLC as in the brakes, tyres and exhaust as you will get with any barn find worth having

Body is a extremely well made from Fibre Glass and not painted, still has plenty of colour with some age related marks as you can see in the photos.

Both carriages have black vinyl padded seats and are still in good condition.

Also with her comes

Full moulds that where used to make the body, arches, face, hub caps, nose, eye's.

Engine and running gear from a very early Mini 850cc 1950's/1960's???

With rare Cooper gearbox

Custom trailer that requires work

Spin frame for rear carriage support




Viewing would be highly recommended please contact

Olly on *number removed* Located Bourne, Lincolnshire

Cash on collection will need van and trailer.
There are about a dozen pics but I am too lazy to post all of them.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
