Good luck to the new vendor, a dealer in Essex who is hoping to achieve £12995!

Post by: Big Al on January 21, 2013, 01:07:13 pm: This is a very good car to drive. It would be a hard car to return to original. I can see why it will fetch a serious price none the less, as it works.

Nought to do with me but I had a hand in the pre-restored car, supplied some parts, seen it, driven it and lusted after its usefulness. Reversing is for people with sat navs and Spare wheels were always an optional extra on a Schmitt. Tools and a tube will do the front. Not so sure what the rear has. Then again the speed this thing can do a rear blow out will mean you do not need to worry about changing the wheel as you will be getting a free trip in a blood wagon. I am surprised it is for sale to be honest.
