Made the mistake today of killing time by looking around to see what was up for sale ... bad mistake  So far have found a 1950's Lanchester 14 rolling chassis + usable body parts for £100, just down the road. A cheap project for scrap value  Also a Mk1 Cortina (+ lots of spare panels, just reduced by £200 to £350 or offers), one of my fave 60's workhorses, have had 2x 4doors + a convertable, not ruling out anoher in the future  Shame I'm betwen houses so living out of boxes in a shared house with no parking |

there's also a room problem as well, you see a car you'd like but don't have the room |

a long time ago I had a strange dream that I had 3 cars in a garage that I had forgotten about, one of which was a Lanchester 14 (think the other two were a bentley and something much bigger). Sorry, carry on........ ;D edit - just seen the £100 Lanchester, and was expecting to see a bit more car left   |

edit - just seen the £100 Lanchester, and was expecting to see a bit more car left Saw a cool build thread a while ago (on here? maybe in tech section or Retro Rides?), theme was "How to build a cool 50s Pickup starting with just a chassis and firewall - on budget" Excellent inspirational work, that + Lanchester above = Win  |
