For Sale Dutton Melos Trials Project

After a lot of debate I've decided to offer my Dutton for sale.

I started the project over five years ago and collected a huge pile of sought after parts and started the re-build which is about half way through. Wife, kids, house extension and running my own business has meant I look at it in the garage more than ever so it's up for sale to the trials community before ebay gets a look.

Dutton's make really competitive Class 7 triallers and this one has most of the right bits.

Offers over £1500 spec sheet and photos attached.

But the fifth gear trailer for this week doesn't seem to mention it at all...

The Definitive List of Marlins

I have just published a long-delayed update to the "Definitive List of Trials-Prepared Marlins" on my Wheelspin website at http://www.wheelspin.info/. There are, however, still lots of question marks, cars which I know have been sold but I don't know to whom, and other missing bits and pieces that make the list rather less than truly definitive. If anyone can fill in the gaps, notify me of errors, or provide any other nuggets of useful information, I'd be most grateful. Public comments can be posted here, or anything confidential emailed directly to me at andrew@andrewkb.net.

Thanks in anticipation.

Can anyone help identify this Trials Car?

Dellow Register Secretary David Haley asks -

We recently had a query about a Dellow with the registration number KMB300 which is not listed on the Dellow Register. After some prolonged correspondence the enquirer managed to get some photographs scanned and e-mailed to us. It became immediately obvious from these photographs that it probably wasn't a Dellow.

But there are some odd looking Dellows around and before I write it off, I thought it would be a good idea to seek opinions. Could you post it on Classical Gas please?
