My Roadster project up for grabs...
 
Hi everybody,
The day has unfortunately come, I think I have to part ways with my Roadster
Long story short, I now live in Australia, my parents are selling their farm where the roadster is... Its got to go.
Now, to the right person, its going to be FREE. If someone commits to finishing it, and not parting it out, then its yours, absolutely free of charge. I will have to discuss this with you first, but I am very serious about this thing being finished.
If you would like to discuss this further, then give me a shout on 0439 016 869 or just pm me on here
Located in Holsworthy North Devon
Think there are pictures in my signature.
Jason

Best of luck finding a new home for the car Jason, a sad say indeed!

If only it wasn't at the oposite end of the country I would jump at it and would love to finish it but would struggle to convince the wife its a good idea to hire a van and drive all that way if there was a more cost and time effective way I would go for it

Vmax1974, A nice drive to another part of the world! How could the Cook refuse if you took her on a "mini getaway!"
Cheers though

Shame I wasn't still in the middle of my build or I'd consider it!

vmax1974 21st February 2015 05:16 PM

Working on her still can get a trailer and got a car to drag it so am half way there going to keep trying

vmax1974 21st February 2015 05:24 PM
