beautiful, bookmarked
rear seats are mental - I'd almost be tempted to repurpose it as a 2 seater and fix some form of storage/liner compartments in the back

George. Local yard to me has this in. If anything grabs your attention, I normally pop up every other Friday from this week. Can box easily and pallet larger stuff up with notice.

Thread on rover commerce mate Can't see that, nevermind. Don't know if you've checked, but there are only 14 left licenced. Well done.

Shamelessly plugging my own clear-out with this post #sorrynotsorry. Take a gander here if you're interested in any expansion pieces (including my running ice cream truck conversion) for your own setup, need it all gone. I'll be honest, I haven't run the track in a year and it has been set up in my loft - so the track pieces will probably need a good clean - but nothing seems to have warped as the loft is ventilated, so should be good.

Right, got the Scalextric (most of it) listed today - the last few bits will follow tomorrow as I've had enough this evening. Have a look here if you are interested.

You are very fortunate not to have a wife like mine who has dutifully filled out our loft with all sorts of household tat She reminds me daily that I don't know how lucky I am.

Of my Uncles manspace made from wood-inducing wood? Will sneak a few next time I visit. jumping an F1 car? how vulgar Yes indeed, haha. But it was the only car I had at the time and was impressed with the pic. So figured I'd share anyway. Should have bought a General Lee really. That is a brilliant use of space, especially getting it off the floor :-) Cheers. As above though it's all coming down soon. Drop me a PM if you want anything.

Year and a few months later...
The summerhouse sprung a leak. We hadn't used it as much as we thought so cleared it out and sold it to a couple of guys who run an 'upmarket' kennels - I understand it has become some form of doggy apartment. Each to their own, it sold for £300 so I was happy.
The garage has gone through many changes. The shelves got passed to my uncle for his man-cave (now that is a build - wish he did this forum stuff, you guys would get wood - which is what his cave is built from) and replaced with 2 metal cupboards the my work (different one, changed jobs May 2017) got rid of. However one of them has gone because the garage now houses our trailer tent in the winter months, purchased to reduce holiday costs for the next few years. Does mean that summer months it is empty and I can actually do things in it. That said, it is currently full of my mates stuff as he has found himself homeless after breaking up with his significant other.
So the Scalextric, well it got extended again track wise and I bought a custom car, well, truck - ice-cream truck to be exact. Goes great till it meets a corner. But I haven't been up there since last August to play on this. As with some projects they start with gusto but end with gusts of tumbleweed. So it'll all be dismantled and sold off. I'll post some links up to the eBay stuff when I work out if I'm selling individual tracks pieces off or making up the sets again.
The wife is happy with me though as I finally got round to sorting out her workroom (box bedroom) so she can crack on with her sewing. Needed to do that really, she's had 2 cars written off this year from rear end shunts (March and May) so needed some happier news!

Looking excellent chaps! Needs D&G logos on it!! "Dan & George" Needs to be "G & D" - we all know it's really George's van anyway and hey, you'll avoid any copyright issues. Ref wheels, personally the ones from the estate should be on the estate - compliment the colour so well. This needs (well, doesn't need - it has enough) lairiness - so the ones donated suit it best imo. But like has been said, it's all down to owners preference - so don't listen to me, do what you want to do with it - got you this far extremely well.

On the hunt for one myself, carry on. Prices have really bottomed out - I can't see them getting cheaper as they're banger money now. 120 bhp, best part of 40 to the gallon, handle like they're on rails - what's not to like? You're quite right. I have my eyes on a couple but the ones I want are just that bit too far. No rush, the right one will come up.

Will George not be able to insure it when 17 then? Don’t think so modified and 1400cc is going to be a problem That's a massive shame, poured loads in to this for stupid insurance companies to take it away thanks to crash4cash asshats pushing our premiums up. GLWTS and the replacement.
