looks like a good £2500's worth of anyone's money

- there are two nice touches I like....

the full - size indicators on the steering shroud - I was always leaving them on on the MK Indy I used to drive - difficult to see in an open - car.

and the other touch is the 4 - electric window switches!

Good luck with the sale - what are you building next?

Im also into Royal Enfield motorcycles, the ones made in india, I already have one I bought 5 years ago brand new, it looks like an army bike, I may look for another enfield with a side car.

Hi,
What is your reason for sale and are there any bits requiring work?
Thanks


isharp - 11/5/10 at 07:23 PM

Im selling as Im using and riding my royal enfield more than the car if it sells it will give me room in the garage to do something else. As regards work on the car, no. It went straight through MOT and since building the car it has only done just under 5000 miles. Its the sort of thing where you can always add to it and put your own touches to it.

Well done - having seen the car at Stoneleigh I know that somebody has got themselves a very tidily built motor...
