When I started my business, I bought a few cars to keep me going until I'd built up some kind of a customer base. From the day I went 'operational', I haven't had time to even look at them, let alone finish them off. I can't see a time in the near future when I'll be able to get on to them so, reluctantly, here they are for sale. There are 5 of them, in various states of completion with prices starting at £400 and going up to about £1100. They are all rolling and I can supply an engine with each, if there isn't one fitted already. Those that need shortened floorpans have already been modded, not to the highest standard but then, some people aren't as quality conscious as me. One is painted,  one has a full length, removeable hardtop,  one has a pick-up hard top. (The plan with the last was to make it into a removeable 'targa' style top.)  (Photos of the others to follow) I can also offer a finishing service. If you don't want to/can't do it yourself, I can do it for you at a cheaper rate yet higher standard than anyone else I know. Delivery to the 'specialist' of your choice is available. Another of the chaps renting workshop space from Andy also heads some kind of a loan service. I don't know what his rates are but I can put you in touch with Pete if you like. Jon |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

My whole collection revolves around 70s Datsuns but like you say, I have some very cool retro.
I'm very reluctant when it comes to getting rid of any of my cars. I might not remember them now, but there were reasons why I got each of them in the first place. Usually it was because no-one else was going to...too far to travel, wrong colour/gearbox/engine oil etc.
Reality comes rushing in occasionally and I realise that there's no way I'm going to get to half of the cars so despite the fact that the rates I'm charged for storage are very, very reasonable, someone else may be able to get something done.
I'm not just dumping the'dross' of my collection either....the whole lot are very rare and desirable. My first love will always be my Mk1 Sapporo (owned 20 years and the only good thing my father in law has done for us) but I also have a collection of ultra rare, 1 or 2 left in the UK, Datsuns.

off topic i know, but do you have any 240k's?? Had a C110 years ago but it was rotten and broken for parts when I sold it. I've only ever had one C210, which is probably what you're after, but I didn't like it. Its one of the few Datsuns that don't do anything for me. My Sapporo blows the 240K's doors off in every way. Just my opinion. |

Kind of a bump. Three of the Beach Buggies have now gone to good homes. I'm still looking to rehome the yellow LDV Pick-up and the GP with the hardtop.  One of my Bajas has sold, wifey says I can keep the black one leaving this one to sell. It was repainted just before I bought it.  |

The Kombat and Predator swb buggies have sold. I'm allowed to keep the Mantaray.
These still need a Daddy...or Mummy.
Yellow GP with full hardtop. Full length chassis. 1600cc. Q plate but can supply a tax-exempt pan with paperwork. Has new fabric doors. Side windows are fitted. No front or rear screen. Fitted with roll cage and huge Wolfrace wheels. I believe it needs the fuel system sorting to run off the key. When I bought it, I was assured it had been rubbed down and was ready for paint. Don't you just love Ebay!
Owes me around £1300. Offers in that region would be nice.
Yellow LDV pick-up. Full length chassis. Engine fitted though I'm not sure of the capacity. Not much has been done to this buggy. Body not bolted down. Roof/rear bulkhead not secured. Nice buggy though. Very unusual.
Looking for around £600.
Blue Baja. Painted inside and out just before I bought it. Has had welding 'repairs' to the heater channels.....or should I say that the tops of the heater channels have been welded to the floor pan each side! Can supply all the parts that may be missing from one of the donor bugs I have.
£300 will buy this baby.
I can deliver to anywhere (I tow with a Patrol). I can also finish the buggies should you need someone to do it and a neighbour at my workshop can sort finance for you, if you need it.
