Tatty Chummy for sale - Mike Costigan - 11-01-2020
This looks an interesting project for someone:

Interestingly both the Association chassis register and DVLA have it recorded as Blue; it certainly looks like it was blue at one stage, but not for many years!

It's almost in better condition than a noted one which arrived at Gildtown last autumn...

I absolutely love cars like this - don’t underestimate the amount of time and money required to keep it looking so and be safe to drive however.

I’m being restrained. Apparently if I buy it she won’t speak to me again

Oh, for the quiet life...

At the other end of the spectrum you also have these today in the VAR Magazine and they are remarkably good value in my opinion.

Lovely to find, very hard to make into a sustainable usable car.
We all have different ideas as to how to do that.
Great fun to do.
Costs go out of the window !
I know I am doing "Jumbo" (a 1925 AC tourer) at the moment.
Cannot wait to get using him.
I agree with the comments on the Twelve.
They are fantastic value for money.
Lovely very usable cars.
Ultra reliable and very well built.
Cheap to run.

as R suggests.
safe to drive is the key.
with friends i done the 1925 strettam car last year, and we were lucky we kept the costs very low.
with wing and runningboard repaires needed, an engine rebuild etc. this one could be much more involved. and expensive.
apart from that ID LOVE IT.
just to much to do on my own stuff as it is.
these chances dont come up to often now, so good luck someone.
