Mark 7s for sale.

Been wondering where Michael Grunert has got to? Well he's been living and working in Tassie and then Scotland. He's back again for now but as he's now married to a Scottish lady, the plan is to settle over there. It might be a bit hard to move the Bollies over there (although we do hear of Pommie migrants bringing out their Triumph Heralds and Morris Minors - they must love them to go to that trouble)  so he's going to see if he can sell them. I'm sure James Smith would be able to find him a similar project in Scotland. So here's an ad........

Why would the roof not go with the car it was cut from?

You'll have to ask Michael that. His number is at the bottom of the post.

Interesting to see UAG 511 for sale. It still looks similar to when I sold it in 1984ish. It came from MEL but originaly from SA. It was red and crashed in the front when I got it in 1978. Did a rebuild and painted it white with thsoe gold wheels plus fitted a 5spd Dato G/box which was fantastic. It would sit on 100 in the old measurements for hrs doing about 3000 revs and very smooth! The guy I sold it too said the clutch waqs too heavy and took the G/box out. If anyone needs any history let me know via John. Cheers Scott

My kitcar has the same (looks like it) rear axle and the diff prop bearing is bad. Where can I get spares or another diff like yours? Help! Anybody!

Does this Michael Grunert have a child? And the mobile number says it's disconnected, is there another number I could call apart from the home phone?
