breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

If it was, it isn't any more. it looks like it would be more use as a boat anchor now.

I am disappointed in your latest selection rich. Nowhere near enough rust. (i would love the stationary engine)

Good grief a Ranger! I wonder how that made it over there? I don't think they were that common back in the day. A kit to replace the rusty body of your ADO16 (Austin/Morris 11/1300). It's no Mini Moke, but it's just as much fun, as it's basically the same, just bigger. Brother in law had one, was cracking fun in the sun, not so in the wet and cold, no heater, and the hood wasn't up to much. Optimistic price of €10,000 though, his sold for £1000 with T&T.
