If it has an engine, chassis and ok-ish body (no real damage) I guess about 750-1000 GBP? Someone sold a complete body (no chassis or engine) for 500 GBP

A complete Frisky in running order would fetch between £3,500 and £25,000 depending upon which model and its condition.
The Sport is the most sort after, only about 12 still exist, the last one to change hands was at the top of that range.
Make sure it is a Sport, some Friskys exist with the words FriskySport script on the front which unfortunatly turn out not to be Sports.
THe Horse and Gear Badge on the front, which people tend to call a "Frisky badge" is actually a trade mark of Henry Meadows Ltd which was used on their engines.
To help, a FriskySport will have 4 wheels be a soft top and have Wipac not Lucas electrics.
I would be interested to hear more about this car and if I can be of any help please contact me

And it has been proven to be a perfectly drivable design unlike a couple of cars in your collection which, eer, well they are not for several reasons are they? Not sure as to its effect on dodgy backs though. Go for it.

Its still there Richard :o and as you thought it is now a real wreck and probably past restoration.

weird isnt it ? people are so afraid of anyone making money out of it they just refuse to sell until its too late. when i moved into my house 28 years ago there was known to be a 1920's triumph motorcycle and whicker sidecar sitting in a shed. the owner wouldnt part with it and i believe its still there but the shed has now collapsed on top of it !

I can give you a list of such places wherein lie ordinary and extraordinary machines that will only become available on the death of the owner if someone gets there before the scrap man.
If this annoys you become a banker. You can then waste all peoples stashed assets without them even knowing you have done it. Brilliant!
