Maybe they're all down the beach

Always fancied one of those, wonder how much they go for though?

Naaa, there are loads around - you just have to know where to look

I've a '66 GP mk1 swb (the best (IMO) british short wheelbase). It atttracts much more attention that the Scooby. Everyone loves it; little kids, old ladies and especially school girls . Mine's bright yellow and loud as you like. With 65bhp from it's 1600 twin carb engine it's quick (off the line) too - well it is only 600kg.

Messes up your hair though at anything over 30mph - best shave it off!

If you like them, they go for £1500 and up for something in good condition, but this is dependent on type and time of year - like errrrrr now would be a good time to sell what with the hot weather!
