    Thank you so much for this. It is amazing. I would love to have one, however, here in Australia we are not allowed to have cool cars, too many regulations. So I have to watch incredible builds from all over with envy.

    That car is a true work of art. Even if only car guys can see it in that light.

    Good luck with the sale Bryan. Some one will be getting a real piece of kinetic art and a great deal of fun.

    The Austin 10 Special is a masterpiece, it deserves a price tag that reflects that, and the hundreds of hours into it.

    Hello my friend! Strange feeling to see it for sale, it's a part of yourself, but I understand. The show must go on😁.
    I would like to have it in my garage. For that I have to sell one of my bikes
    I give you a call soon. Cheers bro

    It's brill that proper mechanical and aesthetic works of art and engineering can still be made, found and used in Britain. Small and perfectly formed by you, Bryan, this Special is delightful. Bl**dy well done. Btw, l don't think l've seen a 'guide price' yet; could you give us a 'steer', please, man?❤

    Brilliant! Just watched this having spent the day trying to bash a 1957 Morgan's bonnet into shape (been experimenting with metal shrinking with heat... I've not mastered it yet). Meantime, your wee beastie is most impressive, and so is the thought process and creative spirit that went into it. It's evocative of a lost age, but it's not all gone. Well done.

    Good luck will the sale! I'm building a Datsun Special out of a Datsun 720 driveline and Datsun 520 chassis. My version of a race special that Datsun never built... but perhaps should have. I find lots of inspiration in your builds. I appreciate your tenacity and problem solving when building truly unique autos.

    Hi, I love the Rat videos, I would like build one to, but where do you get the bits? I saw the video on going to pick up a chassis a engine plus bits. Ebay is the only place I can think of and those prices are silly. Could you do a video of how you find stuff how contact is made etc. Also another video I would like to see is one about registration of your vehicles with the dvla, what do you need in terms of identity

    I used to be 5'10" not been that for some time. More like 5'8" these days. Could I reach the pedals??? I also get cold these days, do you think a brolley would keep in the warm??? Main use would be to race across London would I have to pay any of T**t faces charges??? Will the wheels smoke up and the car doughnut essential for provoking the City police force. A bit brassic at present bloody bank puts you through a grand inquisition every time you want to withdraw more than a tenner. So would you consider swapping for a 306 half a dozen knacker lawnmowers and a Honda FT 500. also knackered.I could probably throw in some old iron to sweeten the deal.

    Not everyone understands. Ownership of the completed car is probably not the main drive in building it. If you're like me 75% of the fun is the engineering challenge of putting it together. And while you're doing that dreaming of the next project.
    Ill keep watching this channel don't worry.

    • @geoffryall-harvey7324
      @geoffryall-harvey7324 7 месяцев назад

      Daylight only MOT and the status of mudguards is "vague". If it's not raining you don't need them - different story if it is raining. They aren't required for the MOT test.

    • @corvus1238
