This is my one and after rebuilding it and running it for a few years i decided to take it off the road for another strip down and rebuild as it had a reaction with the base coat of paint which got worse over time so its now mostly stripped back to bare metal but i have a shopping list of panels i would like to buy and fit before i get painted and back on the road

Just thought I'd refresh this thread, due to RAN5L being mentioned. I can't find it on this thread.
What i did notice is that BKU100L is shown as DEAD but is not, nor is KVF770K.
The yellow one also shown as DEAD was the Classic American feature car owned by Mike Sturgeon, which Andy Harris then owned and I think it went on to Finland possibly. DEAD is possibly because it is no longer in the UK.

I am sure many of these are hidden away, waiting to be found.

I took Mikes over to Norway with me and ran it for a few years but sold it to help fund a deposit for a house over there. It was sold back to Australia and last I heard it was still going strong. :)

I initially bought the Red one off the seller who had both. It was in a lot worse condition that he said. He sent me a few bits and bobs in compensation. But they when he failed to sell the Green one he contacted me and asked if I would buy it. Which I did, but it meant I had to sell the Red one in as I could not afford both

This Charger popped up out of the Woodwork after 20 years in a garage in London. Was advertised on FB and Bazbiker got it the seller before I did. :D

He shipped it up to Scotland but said he never had time for it so offered it up to me. I went and bought it but it was rotten as a pear. After a while I ended up just putting it back up for sale on my Aussie FB page with an honest description and for sale at what it owed me.

Its MUY 172K, on page I. Close to dead but quite. :D
