Another IAT - IVA Avoidance Tactic....

Looking for "factory built" in the listing

Strange how they dropped the word 'Rickman' from the title in the first listing: MK Track Race Car 2013 Blisteringly Quick Rickman Just 4000 Miles

The reason they may have dropped the Rickman bit is that I messaged them and told them it's a ringer I hate all this sort of crap, I've got a classic mini as well and the market is full of late model cars on pre 60's plates .

Someone paid nearly 6 grand for a dodgy motor. I hope it bites them on the bum in the future.

We are lucky enough to understand the legalities of blatent ringers. Not all of Joe public does. If anything I feel sorry for them.

Its a shame you can no longer see buyers bidding on these things to be able to drop them a word to the wise....

Why would you want 6 reverse gears???????

To drive backwards as fast as you can forward? Reminds me of the jokes about Italian tanks from WW2

What was/is a Rickman?

Never seen that name before


kingster996 - 27/8/17 at 07:36 PM

Rickman was a manufacturer of motorbike chassis in the 70s. They also produced a couple of kit cars.

The Rickman Ranger was a Ford based pseudo 4x4.


CosKev3 - 27/8/17 at 08:38 PM

So nothing like a MK at all!

Some poor person has bought a lemon. Will probably be fine until he/she goes to mot it next year.


David Jenkins - 27/8/17 at 09:28 PM

The ad says it hasn't met its reserve yet... wonder why...

He's re listed it due to time wasters and dreamers, probably someone taking the time to check it out and dreaming of a correctly registered car.

Bit off topic but can anyone id the bonnet bulge on that car for me, it looks just what I need to cover the V8 in my 944.


SCAR - 28/8/17 at 07:09 AM

Perhaps a 1967 spartan would be a better buy
kit car
or a DAX from 1960

the MOT history shows it as a Green MK Indy registered on 01/01/1971 - so not much better

also has quite a few MOT failures too - nothing says a quality build like a string of MOT failures from day 1.....
