Yes, I think Rob went up and bought some bits off him.

Another what?

Unfortunately Brian, he's not the only one doing it which means as you say, more dead duttons. If somebody wanted the whole car it would sell and some of them do, normally Phaetons and Melos's's's's but you do get the odd body wanting a Sierra even now.

which sadly is why Duttons are being broken up, what ia a real shame is so many good ones are going now not justs the basket cases.

Indeed, however the seeds of dutton distruction were sown by previous club members and committee that promoted a cheap and chearful approach "we dont want to price people out of owning a Dutton" is what I was told at the time - and that from a member who then proceeded to break several himself. Its a shame but the best chances of survival for Duttons lay overseas in europe where they are more greatly valued.

I have it on good authority that a Polish guy has taken moulds of a certain Phaeton or P21 and is going about making a chassis jig etc. As you say BV the future may be European.
