why ?

I was told this was going up for sale. There had been a priority buyer but that deal would appear to have not been maintained. Good car to consider if you want one that actually works. Known history too.
I have just loosely assembled my Tiger engine to see what is duplicate, and what is not there. Pretty good result as only a few awkward parts to find, I think. Makes a nice bit of Industrial Art on the Victorian hatbox for a bit. In the new year all the parts can be drawn together and a semi rolling shell be put together. Might sell it as it is, then. Then sort the other, ex Australian, one out!

Never underestimate Al's capacity for understatement.
In this case the "Messerschmitt set" that unobtrusively appears in the sub script below his post is referring to 2 TGs!!! 8)

You do need the dark glasses at the moment, to see two. I have picked up bits over 20 years but importantly have the identities of the two cars. To me, that is the breakthrough. Applied to KR200 i have nearly double the number of whole cars owned. So lets not run before we can walk. One will be a reconstruction of a destroyed car. The other a rebuild from a bit of a mess. If it were a Powerdrive I would not bother..... Value has its effect. Back to the partial KR200, which would be rebuilds. Are they worth the completing. I do not know but at some point some more will be put to the market to see if there are takers. Most folk want complete, or near complete, cars and do not relish finding missing parts like a few of us. Indeed I think a small group actually prefer finding a set of bits from other peoples rubbish, to actually assembling them! A niche interest.
