And still they turn up: a mag-engined Chummy.

Click on each image, and click again to get a much larger image -I've boosted the "shadow-highlight" ratio to bring out details not visible in the originals.

That's a lot of scrap for £5K.

Bit of T-Cut will sort that out.

If there was a V5 or other convincing paperwork the asked price would make more sense.

Even with paperwork it's still a collection of parts seemingly 50% rusted away.... I've always fancied a Chummy but not this one I'm afraid

I agree; just take any one aspect of the car - say the dashboard - and work out the cost of getting just that into restored condition. Headlamps, bodyshell, engine, gearbox and back axle rebuilds - the axle looks to be so badly rusted that the side tubes must, surely, be weakened - and so on and so on. It's mostly just a pattern to have things made with even the chassis looking beyond salvaging - if the spring clamps have rusted through the corrosion damage must be terminal. Good luck to anyone brave enough to take it on
