HandyAndy - Roadster for sale

[spud69]

Hello All,

Handy doesn't have access to the forum at the moment so he's asked me to post this brief advert for him.

Due to various reasons it's come to a point where i'm afraid Andy needs to sell his roadster. The car is in a fully finished state but just needs IVA'ing and registering. I and many others have followed Andy's build from the start and know that he has put together a quality car that will put a big smile on somebody's face. There is a link here to "Big Day" thread which shows Andy's build from the start and also some nice completed pics.

The car is a standard book build with Sierra donor, 1.8cvh engine, type 9 gearbox, full grp body, new front calipers and discs, new rad and new wiring loom. All the relevant paperwork is available for the donor car to.

Andy is looking for a quick sale price of £3k for the car which seems a good deal to me. Any enquiries please feel free to pm me or phone Andy direct on 07722 349836

All the Best to everyone and Handy............AndyH

Andy

When you speak to Andy, please let him know I genuinely know how he feels about having to sell up, and send him my best. Mine was picked up yesterday, and now lives in York - sad day :(

Don't reckon Andys will stay around long at that price, best of luck Andy!

Cheers

Adrian

All the best HA.

Sad day indeed! Andy was the one who convinced me to build my roadster, really sad to hear it won't be on the road with him driving it!

[motomaniac]

sorry to hear this.... hopefully another in the future though.... best of luck to you

[The V8 Files]

Gutted for Andy, please send him my best regards.

Had a TXT this morning regarding this. Definatly a SAD thing to have to do. But If needs must. He says he will do another when the time is right and will stay in touch.

I was tempted, but the reality is that I realy should finish my own rather than adding another project to the pile...

Good luck to whoever snaps it up. :)

Wohhh its almost unthinkable, but I guess he will a have very good reason for such a tragic measure:( :( hope he gets sorted and tries again:)

[MikeB]

thats sad news.
I thought Andy had tried for IVA did he not make it in the end?

And from a selfish perspective I wish people would ask a bit more money for their roadsters as these cracking builds going dirt cheap are seriously damaging the resale value for our builds :)

I'm over 3k in and still a bit more to go I'd happilly swap mine for Andys ;)

Best of luck to Andy btw

Very sorry to hear HandyAndy is having to sell. Knowing the enormous attention to detail that has gone into it he must be completely gutted to have to part with it. Having seen this car in the flesh I can confirm this is an absolutely top quality build and worth more than he is asking.

[vmax1974]

Thats awful news was looking forward to a load of roadsters blasting up the helmsley road

Hope he gets sorted soon and is able to get another one built

How does his decision affect his flat pack chassis kits

[SeriesLandy]

I wish Andy all the best, he with a few others was the reason I continued my build.
It's a sad day to see him selling up.

[baz-r]

Sorry to hear Andy's selling up but sometimes needs has must. Let's all hope he will build another soon. Real shame he didn't have it iva'ed would be worth loads more for the bank ballance

[will_08]

Just to echo, really sad news.

Genuinely nice guy, who would help anyone he could out of kindness.

I think he has probably inspired many, especially when hes took you out for a short blast in his roadster :cool:

Best of luck Andy

[alga]

Shocking! Best of luck, HandyAndy, hope you can build another one soon!

[Not Anumber]

Any news on whether Andy's car sold ?

[AshG]

havent heard from him for quite a while did try ringing him a few times a while back but he didn't pickup and hasn't returned my calls.

at a guess i would reckon he is ok as he is a survivor through and through.

[flyerncle]

Would be nice to know he is ok,defo one of life's nice blokes.
