Death of another Ruby

This looks to be far too good to be broken up:

... but the advert clearly states the sale is for the body only

That's a shame Mike,
It makes me wonder what someone's up to? It looks like the body has been stripped to made the car look in worse condition than it is. Perhaps a well known austin person trying to justify the breaking.

From the Leeds location, phone number and the vehicle, drive and garage behind, I'm fairly certain that's the waterski special chap...
I wonder what is being created now?

Anyone got a chassis to swap plus some cash ???? Check out the body number to see if suspicious deal ??

Hi Bob,
I don't get it, you might have to point it out more for me. I do have a complete rolling chassis for sale though. But as the body is usually the hard bit to sell, move, etc. You won't find me adding £1,500 to keep the car complete. I learnt my lesson putting a chummy back together several years ago, and getting slagged down on here for it.

It only makes commercial sense if you cobble together a very rough fabric and non compound bent ali body and sell it as an "incomplete project" to the unwary. If you actually planned to build a Ulster style car on this chassis I doubt that you'd make money.
