Schmitt has gone.
Hope the buyer is happy.

Honda - would you trust Linda?  Prices seem a tad on the high side.

I never like schmitts like that... Why paint the ali frame?

Its the sort of car that needs a restoration. My dad has 2 that were in that condition that hes now restoring.

'56 car with a '55 boot. Looks a rather, err, short cut restoration. I think the 'hard top' is a GRP moulding of the whole top assembly which is why the window has fallen out? I think Tony's car is a better bet despite its ills. But shiny sells and bon chance.

Honda like a miniature MGB? Now I know why I never owned one! Nice car seriously inhibited by spares cost, great engine, shame about the suspension. Soft top double the price of a tin top. It is one of those cars I have known loads to own and hardly anyone drive, mainly as they never finish getting them going. Still cannot make my mind up.
