Mark Boldry's car. He certainly planned to restore this and would have been the ideal person to give it the care and attention that this very significant car deserves. I guess he just doesn't have the time though.

Crikey, that's some guide price, £9K to £16K.

How much more would need to be spent?

And anybody will know, who's bought a Spridget in very corroded condition, the work will be so extensive it will likely end up similar to George Washington's axe ie an amazingly preserved axe, but with two new handles and three new blades. Still his original axe, though.

It is a shame Mark is not restoring this. Needs another sympathetic restorer.

Reminds me of a Dublin-built Booth Poole Mk1 Midget project car that popped up a few years ago in a similar condition (hope that one got saved too).

Cheers
