There's a Minor 1000 on Thornfalcon's website. Believed 41,000 miles; looks good from the photos, incl leather interios. £3950 - doesn't seem over the top for a dealer. |

I had everything crossed for a lottery win this weekend for this auction...
And it worked!
I'm going to put the £10 towards a bus ticket  |

It'll be interesting to see how many of the Marvel Collection sell and how many of those that do sell go abroad. In these austere times there must surely be a limited demand for such vehicles (I too wish I could win the lottery - would love a few of those...) |

Talking of Thornfalcons, this was my dad's. He extensively restored it, full respray, inner and outer wings, sills, crossmember, chassis legs etc. He sold it via Ebay and it was bought by a numberplate dealer who had the original number TPM 657 off it within three weeks and sold it to Thornfalcon's, who it turn flogged it on. £4,250 they wanted for it.

Richard, that's a different car - the one I'm talking about is dark grey/red interior. |

I don't think you have to worry about any of it going to the US |
