Bloody hell.

Starting bid £1000, too.

I wasn't aware blind people were allowed to drive.


Just noticed, the badge says robin hood, that explains a lot.

Looks Metro Based. It would be a fun drive with a 1.8VVT dropped in.

Blimey a Kaig that is claimed to have passed SVA (well S.V. Test whatever that is - check V5 carefully!)

They auctioned about 5 of them when RH went tits up - some even got to 3 figures!

I cannot imagine the point in the factory when they had a design meeting and concured that the design was ready for production

As I understand it, Tricky Dicky just built whatever he wanted to.
He may have built some crap and had some 'unsual' business practices, but for the sheer bloody mindedness that it takes to build some of the stuff they built and for making it into a good going business, I do have some admiration for him.
