Please see my album on the rebuild of a 6 wheel Mini Hustler - 1968 - 1275cc.

Found in the bus museum in Keighley, West Yorkshire.....

Almost completed.....

 

I know of 2 other Hustler owners, there must be more?

Surprised there is not a separate register/club listing .... or is there ???

such a weird looking thing.

 

Looks like it should have flowers displayed in the back or the Pope! lol

 

Nice to see another being saved though. Can't be too many left now.

Cheers Ben, The only thing I am missing is the rear screen... It should have a light smoke tint to match the sides, may have to go clear polycarbonate. There must be one somewhere, like the cars, where are they !!!!

Man that is such a wonderfully oddball thing! Love what you've done, and especially like the little decal on the side :lol:

An Interstyl 6 wheel Mini Hustler was sold at a Bonhams auction on 6th September 2014. Anyone know where it went, please. Still in the UK ???

As there are so few just wanted to make contact.....

Others have sold at Anglia Auctions, Sothebys and Mathewsons as well as Bonhams. Prices for the Hustler 6's are around the £5 - £7k range for the steel frame and plastic ones and up to £16k for the rare as hen's teeth wooden ones )I have one - found in a coach house in Lancashire and rescued from it's 25 year plus storage) From my research it's one of four. There are some Hustler 4's in wood around too. Do you know of a Hustler Register?

As a new owner of a Hustler 6 in Wood I'd be interested in a Hustler Register too. I've done some research on this and have checked the DVLA  status on all the ones I've found on the web. DVLA not keen on putting me in touch with the owners. (Perhaps I should register as a car park company!) Anyway, I've put the ones I've found onto Pinterest under page Wm Towns Hustlers and several other Pinterest users have copied loads to their own pages. My own mail address is upperpreston@gmail (Preston is an area of Torbay not just the town 'oop north) and I'm happy to scan and mail any of the information I've built up (such as it is...) Incidentally your Hustler is already in Pinterest
