slight technical hitch with the pictures at the moment i.e they are on my phone which has been dropped in water :lol:

and I assumed you wouldn't be interested in that blokes porsche, it was more of a joke really as he said he would give me the bx's if i can sell it for him.

The B reg one is a Mk1, which are quite rare now, not worth a huge amount sadly but very much worth saving if possible.

yeah, according to howmany left http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/ci ... anufacture" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; there are only 1 licenced one and two sorned ! This red one alsohad some sign writting on it,on the back it said village in black, curly writting and on the side it said chm racing and a coat of arms, probibly just added but im not sure if it means anything?

and i think th 88 e reg one is an re manual model, which too has few survivors.
