...a Carlton GSi3000 to smoke around in while i am cossieless, as mine is going to the scrap yard in the sky.

Chances of finding one under £600?

The £100 Senator looks excellent from the pictures. I assume its had the rear wheel arches renovated at some point. As long as they are sound it will make someone a fantastic big cheap runabout.
