i did consider it a while back but decided to hold onto it for now

not really, i only used a rag and a bit of metal polish, 5 mins max,they are early ones though as can be seen by the bushings/washers so maybe they were better quality or something at the beginning ?

.

just like the alpine sports ad

this is probably the better option if not bothered about o/e

for the cond i thought that was a good price as there no way its useable i bet ,unless you use glue

i see the ebay comp's been reduced in price,its only £800 now

they are open to offers hows £10.50 sound?

i think the yanks have finally lost the plot :lol:

the wheels look to have been blue but i dont remember alley cats in that colour? just yellow/green and black.maybe they were swapped out at some time

the nose bone seems to be doing well, ive got one in my cupboard ill have to dig out and flog

i think the wheels have seen better days
