If it was given free, where does the price of £500 come from?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Not looking good :roll:
If the club can afford to go and collect this one, and sell it for profit, why not the one offered in the 'free' section?

Looks fair enough to me - the facts are declared, and the money raised is going to a good cause...

Perhaps the money raised could go towards saving Minors, instead of (as POMMReg quite rightly points out) a Morris dancing troupe?

When did you move to France - wasn't the fear of Untrue Alligators was it?

About 5 months ago. I can't say it was the 'untrue alligators' to be fair ;)

Proceeds from the sale of this car will be used towards the restoration of a 1949 Lowlight Minor the club is restoring during 2015 and 2016 to mark 40 years of the MMOC and 70 years since the Mosquito prototype (later renamed Minor) was first tested.

No mention of Morris dancers
