The SE6B is in the upcoming Brightwells Auction........No Reserve!

Seems daft to take that sort of hit on it, Dave - you need to take on an apprentice (financed & paid for by the government, preferably...) - then get him or her to restore & paint it under your supervision. They would get valuable experience & some expertise & you'd have a dinky little summer runabo...

PS. I use Morris' 'Golden Film' 20/50.....(spoken of in reverential, hushed tones up in the hills of the Peak District, 45yrs+ ago!!)

I did a 150mile round trip in my dear owd SE5, delivering a French Velosolex 3800 moped...(don't ask! :lol: ) to a chap in Cleckheaton, nr. Bradford, this Friday afternoon.

Unfortunately, I "learned" wine in Bordeaux, I used to work for a Négociant up ...

Hope he gets the asking price.....................it'll be a world record for a GTC - or any Reliant, I should think!!
