 Grin Just been to see a friend of my dads today who has 4 reliants sitting in his drive, and he is willing to sell me one for.......wait for it.........£100. OK, so it hasn't run since 94, but it was a runner and its all there.

 Grin  Grin Oh yeah, and it comes with a spare engine and gearbox which he will throw in for free Smiley

Very, very, very nice man!! He has also said that I can keep it there until I am ready to start working on it.

Sort of restores your faith in Human nature that, don't it?

As posted elsewhere, I've been told of a couple of engines in Berkshire. Will chase them up next week.

We've still got our Moo Car for sale. Complete Reliant car, minus engine. It's got a very nice axle though. Yours for 50 quid. Or get it roadworthy & MOT'd then flog the Reg number.

i thought the axle was spoken for? i`d still have the problem of dragging her back home tho, thats why i`m reduced to trying to find all the bits seperatly or a complete one just down the road.
If there is anyone close to Mr M, then snap it up cos its a dam good price for the axle alone!

Several people have been interested, no-one's come through with the pennies though. The car's gotta go cos it's on the Boss's land.
