I nearly bought one for £600 on ebay, drunk, but had a blinding flash of sobriety just before I placed that fateful bid.. A lucky escape, especially as it was in Belfast.Fred Fibonaccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174020204048825147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-61459257915557501612008-08-11T16:18:00.000+01:002008-08-11T16:18:00.000+01:00James Hunt had an A35 van, even in his famous year...James Hunt had an A35 van, even in his famous years.

Picturesque as these rusting wrecks are, and a tad ungratefully, I was rather hoping for something a little older - mouldering Model T Fords or Edwardian Renaults, that sort of thing - maybe the odd Grasshopper Eight poking its nose through the stinging nettles. The fact is you had the foresight and captured the moment and that's what counts...any one of these cars would be snapped up by enthusiasts these days. My own A35 shed most of its undercarriage at the Blue Boar services and was driven straight to the scrapyard after a trip involving Cornwall, Durham, Leeds and Brighton. The best £7.00 I ever spent.Jon Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717891707293701969noreply@blogger.com
