It ain't a guy, its a lady who has two of them already but one has been given away to make room in her garage for it. Due in august if you are in the fort lauderdale area you might see it in use sometime. Its what friends are for. I don't use it anymore they always said if i wanted to sell it they would be interested and when the last storm took there roof off i decided to cheer them up and offered it them for free. Plus i am standing the shipping cost you see we brits are a jolly nice bunch bit crazy but who ain't. I will be out there next year to see if it arrived ok and to sort out any issues with it.
Oh i restored the car and made the trailer (1990) its been on the show circuit even been to germany/belgium and boy does it turn heads. Went on holiday in uk once with it did 1,200 miles over the two weeks we were away with it parking is a problem as it gets a lot of attention even more than the xfire.
At present it is having a service and all new brakes as i can't send any parts with the car due to your import reg. All the new stuff i have is being fitted. It has been updated to front disc brakes and 13 inch wheels, the originals were 12 inch. The drum brakes which would not stop the trailer as it is unbraked its more like driving a proper car now with the discs. I just hope they are happy with it when they pick it up from port canaveral. I think they have a six hour run back home with it. Cheers Ronnie.
