Hi all, here it is, my Enduro
Racer Project.
I found this cab while looking through
completed items on eBay on a search within 50miles of my home which is in Corfe
Mullen. I sent a message to Shun on UKVAC who pointed me to the thread above
where it had already been spotted and discussed. I read the comments and despite
learning that its was probably screwed, i decided to take it on! I sent a
message to my local buddy Robotgreg to see if he was free for a road trip to
pick up a game. Within 30 minutes we were on our way. The seller is located
just inside Dorchester, over the bridge, left at the lights and were there.
Well what a place….. it was a field with one massive barn in the middle surrounded
in caravans and lories. It was in fact a traveling fun fair and the very same
one that came to my local recreation ground for many years. The seller who I was
dealing with via text wasn’t on site but his cousin was who was actually a nice
chap and very helpful, he gave me and Greg a good look round for anything else
that we were interested in and wasn’t in a rush, if you can imagine a complete
fun fair squished into this barn but missing arcade games apart from the Enduro
racer. I asked to do a deal and he texted the seller with my offer of £120 and
we did a deal at £140. The chap did all the hard work of getting the game out
which was a long and awkward path to the car, this was nice of him. Ps there is
a MINT Sunbeam Rapier under a cover that has been parked in the barn for 30
years and with the inspection I gave it, I believe him. It’s complete and not
rusty. If you want the info PM me. £5000 he said. I paid the chap and we were
on our way.
more pictures to come tonight, taking ages to resize etc, still getting used to it!
