Nick, I kind of like the look of that car.
I think the chromed radiator surround is great.
The hood is a mess though!

Dave, just type the number in the ebay search panel at the top.

Thanks Dave,
If I hold my finger on the number for longer than normal I get a window which says "copy" whereas previously I got a window which said "call number". So now I can copy the number into ebay without needing to write it down. Still learning how to use the ipad.

I agree it has a certain something but on closer inspection i think the forward and aft parts of the bonnet come from different cars?
The wings/front valances seem to be all in one piece, is it GRP?
Very carefully photographed to hide critical information is my conclusion and that smells fishy.
It's not too far away from me though and I'm tempted to go for a look-see….

Ah, the ebay seller appears to be 'mr.williams1987' from the Leeds area - he's the guy mentioned on the forum some weeks / months ago who appeared at the time to have a production line going of rather odd looking specials based on Ruby running gear. I seem to recall someone posting on here for the first time who'd bought one of his specials on ebay.

Edit - below is the link to the previous thread I mention above regarding 'mr.williams1987' specials. The first time poster was Jonny.

I did wonder if it was the same seller...

Special body, Reliant engine and box, no documents ... sounds like heartache for the buyer

I still think it is going to prove fairly high on the list... it looked intersting as a tiny thumbnail on my phone... but...

The descrption also says the reliant engine isn't fitted, so I'm guessing that fitting the radiator may prove fun again. I think the leather interior is my favourite bit. How many old sofas does this chap have?

Good luck to whoever gets it!

Sold at £4201.00. A rolling chassis, unfitted goings, with some ill matched bodywork. I suppose if you really wanted one…
I almost wish I had gone to ee it but there were other things to do...

And it seems to appear twice with slightly different sellers

is it me?

or is this special back on ebay by the same seller. after selling it for £1,400

thought that was plenty myself.

i take it the seller bid up his own item, and bought it himself.

unless the buyer for £1,400 ran a mile when he went to collect it
