@A2Steve - based on the above article I've got a business venture to run past you and
@Clackers ,
@Ami and anyone else who is able to make parts available. Address the market for micro-investors enabling purchase of their classic A2 one piece at a time for home-assembly a bit like those subscription model aircraft / battleship magazines advertised on TV.
'Build your A2 in only 180 monthly editions .. introductory offer £5.00 (RRP £14.99)'
"Free with edition 1 : soft touch Climatronic temperature button, pre-faded"..
You heard it here first. I'll only change a small % for consultancy costs...
