Title: Fridge on wheels

Lightburn Zeta for sale. I have been looking at this for a while, but don't quite get the price. Maybe it is Australian Austros or Zimbabwean Roubles.

The normal Zeta Sports would be worht quite a bit, but thats just because of the engine. Shame my dad sold his old sports! It had an engine that wadnt even run in yet!

We left the engine in the car, we sold it together. My dad regrets it now, but at least the owner of the car has a car with mathcing numbetrs.

Better to have had and sold then not had. Like the Inter Bob had from me. It was a good deal at the time and he did what I would not have got round to. Got it restored. At least I have had one.

Yes, we both regretted selling that one on but my bungalow needed a new roof at the time and I was finding it difficult to justify to Shelley my owning the car whilst emptying the saucepans of water! Happily I didn't have to wait too long for the current Inter to come along.

Q: What's the difference between a Scouser [Richard Warren] and a coconut?
A: One's thick and hairy, and the other's a coconut.

Chuck in a belisha bonce after a hot sunny day's drive and you have a happy man either way.
