well not NEW new but new in the sense that it was not mine but now it is, and runs very nicely!

finally, i will be back on the road soon, we found and bought a clubby the same year as mine, (the same colour even!), and it was only $750! The owner was going to restore it but he ran out of money. so the car has been completely stripped down (its still painted, but has no windows or interior), minimal or NO RUST, and most importantly, the engine sounds better than mine, and it has no muffler!!!

engine has had recent (6 months ago) work to get it healthy, which cost more tan double we paid for the whole lot!

other goodies include:
clubman nudge bar
set of 4 contessas with 95% tread on the tyres (plus the tyres that are on it, VGC as well!)
chrome hub caps like on rodneys car
new battery
TINY steering wheel (and original "bus twirler wheel)
probably more but i didnt look that hard

once we have done what we want with it we will probably put it up on here if anyone wants anything, but chances are we will box up as many parts as we can. but if you need anything we can probably sort something out, its what we are are here for isnt it?
