Hah! Twas me that got paid, the car's been on a number of modelling shoots, had the MG been a TD, it might have gone topless.
Here's the magnet working again:

Oof! I like that French micro thing, not sure whether I have enough polish in the house to complete it but rat look works too..

Shame the listing for the GS was composed by an optical rectitis sufferer, if that is a real one, then the mirror image photos are really cleverly done.


Rich, Rich, quickly now! Get that bidding head on, I found you something even better than the Daihatsu cockpit car:

I'm loving that. It's clearly made from a converted ride-on lawnmower (similar to mine in fact) so surely it'd be a simple thing to leave the cutting deck attached and hey presto, the classiest lawn mower in the neighbourhood!

hmmm... the seller says it is based on a tr7 and doesn't need any welding. It's got to be worth a few hundred quid to pull all the plastic tat off it and give someone a new shell to rebuild their TR7/8 in to.

someone spent a lot of money doing that..get the plastic off!

You can always rely on that Graham to find odd things with three wheels! These must be among the very rarest of all the Invacars, AC's products always looked much more like conventional cars but bonkers is where it's at, so these must be worth saving as a piece of social history. As a form of transport; maybe they're compromised in modern traffic..

That bus would be lovely with some sort of filling between its beams, maybe fill the gaps with brickwork for a unique look**? Bus chassis tend to be massive and durable so that would be a weekend of work for the right person as it's more like an old building than a car. Hmm, who do we know who has building skills? Go on, Rich, get the bus bought before a property speculator sees the potential and turns it into studio flats.

**- I say unique but those who watch The Grand Tour will have seen James May's brick-built replacement body for a Discovery, so make that almost unique..

i don't have grand tour so this is news to me.. personally i would go with lath & lime plaster for a tudor look...
