Dear Barchetta

Thanks for the link. I just had a look at the 88 vehicles/items for sale. If they are selling off 88 vehicles, how many are left?

Some of them look very rare and worthy of getting a lot of interest.

Shame I will not be able to attend the Auction, But I expect we will all hear more when it is all over.

Thanks again

Chris Thomas

Hi Chris
            Some of the vehicles are not from the museum, I recognise some of A H vehicles there - I think the bubble car musuem are selling about 70 vehicles leaving them with approx 30.

Seems strange to me to be having a bit of a clearout of the museum stock, some of the vehicles such as the sharps minitruck will be hard to replace ,or is this one of the micro's added to the museum's cars just for the auction.

Hi

The Sharps mini truck was on display there in April 2008.

A lot of the cars for sale are the ones that were on display then, if you take off the ones that were on loan, a couple of Berkeleys, Jimmy Savilles isetta, there can't be a lot left unless they have new stock that wasn't on display last time I was there. ???

 & how easy is it to find another Alta?  (this car was sat behind the fenced-off section behind the museum building last April)
