Tim Hunt Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Given those shots Mike the car looks an even better prospect. Tim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 As a long distance car to use for events such as the RBRR, I cannot think of a better prepared vehicle. Looks ideal. Very much hoping a CT type buys her! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 When the mk1 went from auto to Manuel, I made one myself from hardboard covered with black vinyl cloth. I wouldn't claim it to be perfect but it's good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Memory, Moby's is marine ply, then covered in anti slip, non reflective rubber ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairV Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The 'marine ply' under the rubber coating- which is a bed-lining off cut and designed to stop mobile phones sliding around- is actually cut from a tea-tray I found, that is a similar coloured plywood to the dash. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim I know that you realise Moby is good value at £6K, particularly since you gave us an agreed value of £8.5K on the car 👍 Thank you El Presidente.

Tim Hunt Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Quite so, and there is no reason for Malcolm to be upset by your post. After all, in Spanish El Presidente can mean 'President' or 'Chairman'. Our language is so rich in having specific words to differentiate even more subtle distinctions!

Tim Tim, Sorry if I caused you or Malcolm offence. Most people would have understood it as a the humorous quip it was intended to be.

Mike North Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Moby now sold (subject to the usual), first person to view bought. Could have sold her three times over.

Rubce Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hi All I am pleased to say we are the new custodians of Moby, now renamed Casper after Casper the friendly ghost.

Tim Bancroft Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Good news this, well done both parties. I cannot think of a more underrated old car than the Triumph big saloon range...absolutely superb motor cars and I still think Triumph's best product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White (of course) TR6 in build, Dale has already done the body. Fitted or planned: Long range 20g tank, full suspension re-work. Fast road on triple webers etc etc 😎 Not sure it will be ready for 10CR and we've volunteered to Marshall on 2025 RBRR, but we will be back, just changing up a gear ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Mike, RBRR Marshal: That would be great, but would rather see you both in Moby 2 taking part. Sounds an interesting project. 20G tank sounds interesting. Dave Langrick has a 15 gallon tank in his GT6/Spitfire hybrid...makes events less stressful. Good luck, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
