If you're looking for safe storage then I can offer a corner of a barn for a donation to Ntl...it can join brother-in-law's dodgy boat and nephew's 205 whilst he travels the world...the car will get dusty as the barn has Yorkshire boarding but it will be safe... John

Raymond, what a sad day to see this advert.....I would jump to buy the car but i'm fully committed at the moment. Best regards John

Hi Tony , that's excellent.....sold. Give me a ring to arrange pickup, Best regards John PS On the business front everything seems to be happening at once now,builders arrive on Tuesday, so do the stables... so with a bit of luck we will be ready by the year end. It will make a change to try to make some money rather than just spend it !!

Unused set of glassfibre wings (cycle fronts ofcourse) factory sprayed in Mango...never bothered to change the carbons. They are still in bubble wrap and keeping a corner of a shipping container from getting dusty. The fronts have been pre-drilled for stays and there is a new set of lights still to be attached to the rears. Cost over £200 new. Make me an offer so that you can have something to do for the dark nights . Email Jrichensx@aol.com or phone 01723 871404

Is this car Honda Irish Green ? , and if so what is your dad building now ?? best wishes John

Tony...I could be interested for the wife Will mail you cheers John

Mark, could you send me photos and full details please,age etc at jrichensx@aol.com, many thanks John

A friend of mine might be selling his Minno Shuttle...it's one year old and only done a couple of trips so nearly brand new. It's got the long ramps,winch,straps,spare wheel and security locks. He wants close to £3750 for it.....give me a mail if you are interested cheers John

Rob...short answer is I don't know ...it's had the bearing upgrade as per all other R500's. I'm sure Caterham or Minister can help with that specific information, cheers John

Picked the car yesterday(Saturday 29th June) fresh from the factory post Minister rebuild...I had a new clutch plate put in whilst the engine was out so any buyer can't ask for any more effort from me...will be advertising the car this week ...I hope the car goes to a good home. Cheers John p.s 2800 miles now and am confused as to which car I should be selling !! Can contact via email or mobile 07770 392048.

Pierre, the Defender is very much a workhorse as opposed to a luxury car(Discovery)..I have owned both the TDI defender 90 and now own a TD5 discovery....they both are excellent as towcars... The latest Defender TD5 has been updated internally to give more seating room in the front (with the bulkhead removed and a bar in its place)and has a few more electric components...as a tow car it probably is better than the disco as the gearbox has different ratios...it will be less money also. My new TD5 disco is brilliant and much better for my lifestyle with the auto box giving effortless power (its quite quick too)as well as being a family car. I did have a 5 litre Chevy engined Discovery too but it cost a fortune to run/repair !(it was fun though) If you plan to offroad either car will be fine although the defender will be easier to repair damaged body panels good luck John

sold I hope....if not Paul I will contact you thanks John

Gary ...I have a hood bag available...if you mean the roll type which velcros around the rollbar...it fits both standard and FIA bars....

No problem....when is the day...'cos i might have a different car to use if you want!! There is no rollcage to climb over which could be easier in wedding garb !

Mango with carbon wings and nose band,2700 miles only ....(1800 trackday miles) bearing upgrade being done by Minister just now. Fully specced and meticulously maintained...,spec can be altered to suit needs i.e more road than track. The car has had ONE off at Silverstone in March 2001 (RMA day)which was repaired at the factory and well documented at the time. £29000. Please Email Jrichensx@aol.com for any other information.
