He moved on in Sep 2006 and RTOC has been run by a committee since then.

Last year a few others left to start their own club.

Another significant thing that's happened since you were here last is the scale of reduction in both 5GTT's and, accordingly, RTOC members. Maybe 1500 members then, about 375 now.

One breaker I know, local to me, said he personally scrapped 300 5GTT's and sold the parts.

And the price has gone up quite a lot. I sold a quite good tungy 5GTT 5 years ago, with no engine, dropped doors and needing new jacking points, for about £200 which would be worth maybe £2000 now, if not more.

I know the bloke you sold it to, Kenny, love his retro motors, just loves fords more than Renaults.

Shame he sold it on, he did a bit of work on it, it had new jacking points, rear calipers and a turbo and it was a good motor:agree:
