Anything is in better nick than N1 TUT.

However it means that I can carry on getting her back into shape, but still have one to use in the meantime.

Well done tut :) I'm delighted the car is going to a good home.

I'd heard a whisper that you were thinking of moving over to the other side but as you're taking the steering wheel with you it's not so bad. ;) I'm sure we'll all soon get used to seeing T1NUT in yellow anyway and of course it'll be so handy in France for the overtaking manouvres. :)

N1 TUT is still my first love Lawrence, so this one will not replace it, but it gives me chance to carry on with the rebuild and not rush things. After everything is back together, it still needs most of the clam mounting points rebuilt, and then a complete re-spray

Also I hate being without my car, we have had some lovely sunny days, and it was 15 degs yesterday. Really been getting withdrawal symptoms.

Track days have already started, road runs are not far off.

Cowan is actually driving the car up here on Friday, so I do not even have to collect it. I have bought it unseen, the only proviso is that the rear subframe is in good condition and not rusted as mine was.

You jammy jammy jammy barsteward. I looked at that when you first posted it and thought where would I get 10k?

Based on that valuation I can give you 50 quid for N1 TUT??? I'll even collect.

Wow!
A sunday run Tut? Not been out for ages!

Will you sell it once N1 TUT is back on the road?
If so, give me a shout ;)
