The grey one has been up before as I remember quite liking it but some historic MOT corrosion which worried me.
Not sure about the Damask Red one because as you say, pictures aren't great.

Go for it, would that not give you the set of three? Wolseley, Austin and Morris?

And if I am not mistaken a Mark III has appeared too.

Mind you the mark I has piqued my interest. Fronts seat, the repair under the NS headlight and the front of the sill, I wonder what else.
My worry is that it would be rusty as hell underneath.

One. The target is to own one 'Crab. Three might lead to a cessation of posting and a patch of freshly turned earth in the garden. Or worse - "A little word....." Couple of pics of the one in North Yorkshire. FileyCrab by Penguin 45, on Flickr FileyCrab by Penguin 45, on Flickr Possibly the Landcrab equivalent of a UXB. Bits of rust all over the place. Curious that it's got one repeater above the swage line and the remains of one below! What? Chris.

I couldn't help myself. Just called the guy about the Mark I. He hasn't looked underneath but he is the second owner and had it in a garage for 20 year. Selling because he has lost his garage. Has quite a lot of bills over that time too. Does not currently move so will be quite a steep learning curve for me but hopefully not beyond me.

I was 5 minutes away from Buford today at my daughters. I don’t know how far away you are? If you’re really interested it’s only 30 miles from me, so I could have a peek for you.

That Spalding job looks interesting, be good to see what it ends up at. Not really keen on the six though. Cheap at current bid.

I am thinking it might be worth a trip to Oxfordshire. I have had another look at the pictures and seen a small hole in the OSR wheelarch and the NS wing repair does not quite meet the grill but without physically seeing, cannot tell what else. I am hoping the time spent in a garage will have prevented a horrendously rotten underneath.
Of course, still a bit of a logistical challenge to go and view. Looks about an hour and a quarter but of course will be depending on traffic.
That Wolseley Six looks pretty decent too but one car at a time. With all these cars suddenly appearing, it does mean I have a few options.
