MG Midget and Sprite General - Astounding ebay sale price
| Item number: 270859343519 10k for a barn find frogeye seems very high, even if it does have the rare "Speedless" rubber glove air filter conversion! |

| Gary there's a story - read the re-list !!! http://tinyurl.com/cqz9hxu |

| Still sold for that amount, so must be real. Or someone isn't affected by the crisis. Wait... just saw the other post. |
| Alex G Matla |
| Actually the car does not seem to be that bad. Certainly a very sound basis for a resto project. Value? I would pay 2.5 to 3 gran for it, guess others would possibly pay more. I did enjoy the rant about the chap from Wales however, very funny!! |
| Bob Turbo Midget England |
| Too bad the biding has ended on the phone number. LOL |
| Alex G Matla |
| He says "NOW IS THE FIGURE ADVISED BY FROGEYE SOC" Who the hell are the Frogeye Soc? I assume that the seller and non paying Welsh buyer both have each others addresses, so can we expect fisticuffs somewhere along the M4. Newbury Services would seem like a good venue. |
| Gary & Gaps |
| This is brilliant. Funniest thing I've ever read on Ebay. |
| Lawrence Slater |
| Can someone please save a copy of it? Having trouble with mobile broadband @ moment & it will probably get pulled before I get a chance to see it! |
| Dave O'Neill2 |
| Panic over - its started working aqain! |

| It's just in case you spill fairy liquid down your carbs whilst doing the washing up Anthony. :) Protects your hands and your throats. lol. |
| Lawrence Slater |
| For hands that do Spridgets Can be soft as your brakes With wild (racing) green Fiery liquid |
| Gary & Gaps |
| You should send that to the seller Gary, so he can add it to the description. lol |
| Lawrence Slater |
| I doubt if many of you will have tried this, but if you stretch a rubber glove over the vent pipe from a septic tank it will inflate and deflate and wave at you - driven by the changing gas pressures inside the fermenting tank. Can look really weird and quite scary from a distance. I see that he claims to have got the car started by putting a can full of petrol "near to the pump" So, a perpetual motion machine powered Sprite. No wonder the price then! |

| It was running on the fuel vapour Guy. :) |

| It gets better... Have you seen the follow-up listing for the "Welsh W*nker" from 'travelling-wilbury'? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAVID-MARK-PIERCE-WELSH-W*NKER-POLICEMAN-LAWYER-CAR-DEALER/270864745726?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=017&category=56367&cmd=ViewItem#ht_2245wt_1141 Happy bidding! Jonathan |
| J Whitehouse-Bird |
| yeah saw that, thought it was a little bit on the edge too either the bidder has pushed this guy over the edge or they're both really not suited to each other |
| Nigel Atkins |
| Maybe it's all a publicity marketing ploy, to get attention for a new sale. :) |
| Lawrence Slater |
| It looks like 'travelling wilbury' has had his listings taken down! |
| Dave O'Neill2 |
| It looks like 'travelling wilbury' has had his auctions taken down. I wondered how long it would be! |
| Dave O'Neill2 |
| And the car is gone too! |
