well sadly, due to the fact i have suffered a seperation I am now in the unenviable position of needing to cull the car collection, Tilly is already sorted and I am keeping the 46 as its practical, but this still leaves the Wolverhampton save that I made recently the 44 estate, as you all know it has been "modified" but it is complete and sort of runs, doesnt move much under own steam as brakes are tight and it will need welding for its next mot.. shame really but I have no choice in the matter at the moment...

anyone wants more info please feel free to drop me a message...

Sadly I have neither the time nor the money to take on another project at the moment despite having wanted an estate from day 1.

Sorry to hear about this Nick. Good luck with the downsizing, I share your pain, having in the past been forced under considerably different circumstances to ditch loads of perfectly good stuff in order to move.

Tiny houses are okay, provided they have huge garages/sheds/back yards attached. ;D
