Glad you are saving it.
Regarding minimal value..... don't be too sure.
Japan, China etc are markets where rarity counts and cash is often in over supply.
This could sell for silly money to the right collector.

Well we shall see when it comes to selling it! I want to finish it and keep it for a bit first. Its a nice oddity to take to some of the car shows I frequent instead of my Mini.

Heres a mighty bump and a half. Ive still got this and its still an ongoing restoration. The cab is bolted down and some welding done to the flatbed. Its waiting on its doors going back on and the loom going in. Then it needs brake rebuild I'm guessing. In the time ive owned it ive still not taken the wheels off!
Its just a shame that my actual Mini gets in the way so much! Its stripped to pieces for a new scuttle panel currently.

Never seen or heard of one of these before. Think it looks great, good luck with the rest of the resto

Ive also been buying various parts such as switches, light clusters, dizzy parts, etc. Mostly electrical bits. I had to source and buy one of these too which turned out to be incredibly time consuming! That looks like a radiator mounting for a Dennis Trident bus? If you need any more gimme some dimensions & I'll check for you.

My father Barrie Badland founder of indespension was the brain child of the jiffy he asked Richard oaks who designed the nova kitt car to design it.lack of type approval ment they could only be sold in kitt form.i remember seeing all the many chassis and body parts at the factory in 1982.they were both working on the idea of a large version with cortina running gear,unfortunately barrie Badland died at only 46 years old in 1983. The company was taken over and the jiffy project was scrapped within six months.76 vehicle were sold.it always makes me proud when I see them
