Friend of mine had one of these for a time back in the early 90s but sold it to buy an Alfasud. Was a cool little machine and something well different

Great machines. I remember the articles in CCC at the time. Built by the late Russell Bulgin. As I always wanted one I kept the articles for years. Must see if I still have them. I think he hillclimbed it at Shelsley.

Good work. I must get mine back on the road one day soon. It has a later large Bronze style rear bumper.

Cheers,cant decide whether to paint the back bumper black to match the front Perhaps. I changed mine to the Bronze bumpers front and rear, but will probably go back to the originals. Capesthorne, not far from you I guess. Not mine. Midas Bronze (1988) by Steve Glover, on Flickr
