Its about how much car you'd get for £8-10K in the current second hand market. 🙂

Loving the pink and white 'Bagpuss' top. Do you know if there are adult sizes available?

OP, Yup, thats the Reliant Regal that is halfway down the Unicorn trail near Whiteways

It's been there for years, the only reason it's not completely rotted away is the fact that its a Reliant and made out of GRP so future generations can marvel at their shonky horribleness .

Personally I'm more interested to know how it got up into the forest in the first place, I've always assumed it was a car theft and joyride by someone with little ambition and very low self esteem...

I've ridden past it so many times!

First time I've stopped. A regal, so it is.

Found some interesting stuff deep in Slindon including some old pumping equipment in a very deep sump.
