Lightweight!

[Rich_P]

As the topic title says, I want a Lightweight! Now, it doesn't need to be in top condition. It needs to run, a little smokey is fine, it needs a good chassis most of all, and a decent bulkhead. The bodywork can be bashed and battered, interior may be a bit on the poor side, and most lights don't have to work, apart from 1! Why? Because it shows the circuit, or some of it at least works! :p

So, anyone got anything?

i know of a lightweight the owner might part with, but up here in scots land

[Festerfly]

but chris, are you talking cheap?



Lightweight prices seem to have taken on a mind of their own in recent times!!!

Yes, dunno why the prices have gone rocketing up. Must be due to their semi-"rareness". :rolleyes:

I'm just trying to source some first, and then make a big push to be allowed one on the side-drive, for a project.

Nothing too much, but something not too little. Should keep me occupied enough till I can drive it too.

[challisc]

well its ok, it needs some chassis work. bulkhead is retavly sound. not running any more but did a couple of months ago. Drives etc ok really needs a tidy. was going to be used off road but never got finished. hardly anyting done to it though. soft top, no MOT or TAX

Price???

[Rich_P]

Price please, and possible methods of transportation.

Is it ex-mod too? (not being built from left over parts)
12v or 24v?

[Festerfly]

steel...

You could try Owen, he likes going to scotland to bring things back!! lol

Soudns like the dieal kind of project if you are looking to get your hands dirty!

For a couple of grand I could be persuaded to pare with mine.

[Rich_P]

g7jtk, is that because of the trouble it is causing you? :p

Anyhow, I need to probably make another push to get one. I'm wanting an ideal one which shouldn''t require a complete strib down and rebuild. I'm after one which needs a fair bit of work, but not overly much.

Any pre '73 ones too?

Well, on Autotrader, Lightweights tend to go for around £1500-£4000. Commonly found in the £2500 region.

Not sure about the ones which need work though.

[g7jtk]

No it's just the bare minimum that I would take. Every thing has it's price.

You should have asked this a couple of months ago, my housemates just sold his 1969 2A Lightweight for £750, would have been ideal.

[Rich_P]

I think I did aska few months ago, but perhaps TOO many months ago. :rolleyes:

[g7jtk]

Well mine is working again so it would be even harder to persuade me to sell it.

Got a tax-free one here.....................£500

Bite his arm off.
