The time has come to pass Arnie on!
I've had him for about 23 years now but done nothing with him for the last 10.
In his day he was a 1200cc Lada Challenge car (ask your dad) before being converted with a glorious Fiat Twin Cam engine.
I took ownership back in 92 (I think) from a gentleman called Pat Flynn who was involved in the Lada Challenge & who's brother had a Lada engined Darrian which once featured in Motoring News.
Arnie is fitted with a full cage, bucket seats, harnesses, Perspex door windows, uprated springs, Bilstein dampers etc.
The Fiat engine is equipped with twin solex carbs, K&N Air Filters, and a converted Fiat 4-2-1 manifold (adjusted to miss the steering box) & allegedly had it's cylinder head breathed on by someone who knew about these things.
When I moved house 10 years ago he went to stay at a friends house in Lincolnshire (I'm in Warwickshire) & is still there but needs to move.
This is definitely a project car, I've not seen him for a while but remember that there was an issue with the brakes and a fair amount of rust here & there. He also sports a dented roof with a large Aeroflot sticker on it!
I'm not sure what sort of money we're talking about although I feel the engine has some value. As a complete longshot I would be interested in a Land Rover Series III 109 Chassis in reasonable condition!
If anyone here is interested then get in touch, ask any questions which I shall try to answer as best I can, & then maybe we can find a convenient time to go & have a look
