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. Back up again - HERE. Currently at £495. Chris.

Thought people had given up selling them altogether. Here's a Six in Liversedge.Wolseley Six by Penguin 45, on Flickr Wolseley Six by Penguin 45, on Flickr Doors, dirty and a couple of missing components. I have actually been in contact with the seller in regard of another matter and he's been pretty straight with his description. He really just wants it to go to a decent home. Chris.

Project for sale in Shifnal - HERE. DinkyCrab by Penguin 45, on Flickr Thought that the suspension had collapsed in a highly realistic manner, then I found out some of the tyres were missing. Chris.

Sad Six in Tredegar - HERE. Tredegar Six by Penguin 45, on Flickr Tredegar Six by Penguin 45, on Flickr Can't see that one going back on the road. That said, suspensions still up, so a couple of hundred for a full set of displacers might be quite attractive. Chris.

Don't you fancy the challenge, at least you can see the state of the sills?

Beyond mine as well; this one has turned up at Baron's sale at Sandown Park www.barons-auctions.com/view-lot/3930/for-sale-at-barons-auctions-1973-morris-1800Looking at the pictures it doesn't appear to have any coach lines, there are bolts along the top of the right front wing (and presumably on the left hand side as well) and the tops of the front wings are covered with a plastic trims which are coming off at the front (where you would normally see spot welds) presumably to hide something. all that lot makes me think that it's been repainted and probably had a pair of front wings. Though from a distance this example looks to be very nice with only one owner until 2020 it probably isn't a "time warp" car as it has been described. Steve

As said, reckon it’s a restore, but cant see a problem with that. Fuse cover missing, best of luck getting one of those. later mark threes had auto choke on the air box , maybe that’s what it is. My earlier one has the standard air box. My mark one had fibreglass wings so probably not an issue bolting steel wings on. Out of interest there is a firm still listing glass fibre wings, or there was when I started work on my mark three.

That looks like the airbox with the thermostatic air inlet flap that was a factory fitting to my crab made February 1975 although my 1973 car had the original set up.

Does look decent enough and will be interesting to see what it makes.

Certainly looks decent as a parts car. Or a project for someone with the skills.
