Hello,

I have recently brought some Paddy Hopkirk car ramps (for a mini) at a tractor auction.

I was just wondering if these are rare as i didn't know they even existed and how much they are worth?

They just have some surface rust so i will get them shot blast and restore them.

Cheers

Josh

Is there anything Paddy Hopkirk won't put his name to & milk it!

i will when i get them back home. i didnt have any space in the car to bring them back so my mate still has them. but here is some similar ones on ebay. look pretty much the same but slightly newer.

Can't be that rare or worth much?
I've got a scabby pair that have just been treated to a quick paint over with hammerite, that were only a fiver off ebay. I've also of last year chopped a second pair up to turn into ramp extensions, so it's easier to get the minis up and down them.

yeah, your probably right. I will shot blast them and give them a lick of paint and use them anyway. can imagine they are a handy thing to have.

Those wouldn't be that hard to make

I have some ramps that look just like that in my garage. Same colour and everything. Never looked to see if they had a sticker on. Must check next time I'm in the garage.

Yup, we have a set of them, repainted red, and have been using them for over 30 years

[purple_fly06]

does anyone know what the standard colour for them is?

[1984mini25]

And a heck of a lot cheaper for effectively the same ramps from halfords.
