Mike Blows is ....
Considering selling my Midge Project, it needs full re-commissioning and most of the wooden panels need to be replaced
Engine turns but haven’t had it running
Chassis seems very solid
Was built in 1990, driven July until 1992 then dry stored until around 2017 - I then got hold of it in 2018
It has been SVA’d and comes with a proper v5 and is on a Q Plate
Really don’t want to sell it this is my 5th kit car and never sold one as ‘unfinished’ before
But right now have very limited time (usual story, new family etc)
So what’s it worth? Anyone interested?
(I really won’t mind just keeping it in the garage until I have more time - but just figured I’d get an opinion on value)
Cheers in advance
Mike,

Chris Herd has a MkII for sale.
Project started in 2016 using a 1993 Suzuki SJ chassisAfter 4 years I’ve still not completed it so may be time to let someone else have a go.
Car starts & drives - JUST!!!Brakes not too good so can’t drive far. Just need bleeding better I think. Just driven in & out of garage so far.
I’ve got to the finishing part of the project which my skills set don’t quite come up to spec !!! No patience, tools or skills.I have a pictorial build diary for anyone interested.
Just email me on:- herd.chris@aol.com
I’m not good enough to be a perfectionist. If you are, maybe you should look elsewhere. I know you might make significant changes yourself but I hope you know what I mean.I have the original chassis plate & logbook in my name.Would £2000.00 be of interest to anybody? (Much more spent than that !!)********
Because this is a ‘Re-body’ (no chassis chop) the V5 designation can stay as it is. Pictures in the summer 2020 magazine.

Does anybody have any late model (87) Suzuki SJ 410 Prop shafts going spare please - until I get some I'm not actually going anywhere! Thanks in advance Lin. 2468364@mail.com
I have for sale twin HS2 carbs with inlet manifold and a modified exhaust manifold, can you put on the website please.
They are from a 1300 Triumph engine, these will fit a 1200 Triumph motor, they have been cleaned with new gaskets, jets/needles, with pancake filters,
an exhaust gasket is included including choke cable end fitting/to carb. A length of 6mm E10-J9 compatible tubing is also included.
The manifold has a 1/4inch BSP vacuum takeoff. The water cooling hoses/clips are also included.
The inlet manifold water inlet/outlet tube was badly rusted, I drilled it out and fitted an stainless steel tube.
Whoever buys them may have to modify/make the throttle cable bracket also required is a new inlet/exhaust to the head gasket and of course
when fitted they will need balancing for air and the fuel delivery sorting.
I did a trial fit then found I needed a new engine side panel as the carbs came out opposite the panel louvers and never remade the panel.
I am asking £200 plus postage of £18.50. sandersontom58@gmail.com
also a Mk1 Midge correctly registered ford based above (Tom's Mk1)
