Minor Chassis auction on eBay

Post by chris lambert »

There is an example of a modified or mutilated Minor rolling chassis for auction on eBay here:

At a starting price of £750 I must start searching for some more and get my hack saw out! :wink:

Did any Minors have the bar between the front dumb irons?

No, that is a modification - just at the rear. Looks like the chassis didn't sell. After the auction I realised that it has most of the running gear I need for my M chassis. Have e-mailed the vendor, who contacted me before the eBay auction - no reply so far.

No bids at all - £750 was too much though wasn't it?

Isn't the axle ratio wrong for an M type?

Yes, GBP 750 was a bit steep. Re the axle, the ratio would be wrong, but the vendor also had an early (riveted) axle casing spare.

This chassis is being re-advertised on eBay for a slightly lower price. It is a SV saloon chassis SV7024.
