My new pred
 

Thought I'd post it here too as it's vintage!

So it landed today in a battered box (thanks Royal Mail) but the car was safe and sound inside despite there being no other packaging!

After talking to Matt (Dyna) looks like I've bagged a pre production car! Couldn't be more happier and unlike the last 2 preds I've had I think this will just live on the wall.

That sure does look nice.

One word WOW, i can remember when they first came out they still look awesome today :-)

Looks rubbish :p :lol:

Very Nice!

Where do you guys find this stuff? Is it other contacts that offer it to you. I assume it's not the usual well known auction sites etc..

:thumbsup:

He's got more balls than fifa :drool:

:p:p:p:p:p:p

It popped up on a Facebook page I'm on, but yes you need to hunt for the best stuff or like this sometimes they just fall into your lap! :lol:

I've asked him that before but he won't tell :cry:;)

I have you've just got to be quick, I bought and paid for this within 15 min of it appearing for sale and it was an absolute bargain :thumbsup:

Would help if I used Facebook I guess

Nice find Justin you jammy bugger:thumbsup:

Nice find. You must be tempted to get it runing.

Doesn't look mint to me like he says :lol: plus it's more than you paid for that beauty, sorry I mean awful looking shed :p

I have my special search engine!!
I don't do Facebook so I'm sure I miss out on a lot
Ebay bargains are rare unless Lister is inexperienced and doesn't know what he has
Nice pick JP
Regards Dave

Lol not sure I want to know about your special search engine :lol:

You'll get locked up for that! :lol: :lol:

I know a guy that talks to all his old racer friends that don't anymore and picks up all sorts cheap

I remember having one of these when I was young, I raced it for a while until I got sick of it breaking all the time.

The rest of the parts arrived today, it was cheaper for him to send 2 parcels thus one must of missed the plane,

Richard Weatherly said this about the serial numbers but I think he's a little hazy :lol:
I think I can remember - The code is quite simple. 2 means February, 102 means it was the second car built that month. 4 is 1994. Sometimes we swapped the number order around, but the coded principle was always the same.

Just had some more on the serial numbers from the man himself.

The 2 means February. The 4 means 1994. 102 means it was the 2nd car made that month. (The middle numbers always started at 100) Some years, we swapped the end digits so that the month was at the end of the number and the years was at the beginning. Some years we also reversed the middle three numbers. It's simple when you know the code! I'm happy that all these years later no one figured it out. :)
