	Mini is Sold and now in Taunton, very nice couple had a very long day! Got on the train at 8.30am & they got home at 11pm. Currently buying a house, so I'd love to say the money was going on the awesome Hilux I have seen for sale but sadly it's going towards stamp duty. Yay. Good news is, I should have a bit bigger garage than I did have in the next 2 months. So I can not work on my Golf in that, haha.

	I keep an eye open for them, havent seen one for a while. If you can get a rust free one from Japan it's probably cheaper in the long run, last one I saw for sale was rotten

	Jun 3, 2022 11:56:38 GMT someone said: it's nothing to do with pollution Never is & never will be Seem 40 year old cars fall into ULEZ atm, so should be some quite intersting stuff falling into ULEZ soon. Autotrader lets you search for ULEZ only, so worth having a look if anything floats your boat. Smart Roadster/for4 are ULEZ So are the Nissan Cubes

	It seems very optamistic pricing as a job lot. Might achieve nearer that with a well presented advert for each one individually

	Looks great, it either needs more meaty tyres or lowering 30-40mm though

Someone has put one in a mk1 civic so must be possible? Yes but that wasn't the point, when I took an acclaim engine apart it looked like it could take a lot more power. Would the 12v head fit? Or is it the cvv engine already?

	Toyota Sienta - based on the Yaris. Only found out they were a thing when one came up for sale locally for £1100, but it needed a new windscreen, yeah good luck finding one! Think it worked out about £1k for one shipped. Kinda want it though, I have no reason for it haha www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325143624960
