HEY BERNIE !

That blue cob, 2nd post into the thread, is a car that was reveiwed in classic car mag back in dec 1995. It was then owned by David Ratcliffe (an MG repairer)who had owned this car for 17 years at that time. it was also noted that the photographer asked why the body had not been restored , the reply was,why bother ,it would not be worth any more (hence the sale price)
Another interesting fact is that it has ROBNELL wheels on the front axle ,because of the corrosion of the original magnesium wheels
It is also the same car photographed along side the classic revival advertisement in the snake tales mag...........
