I see that this Gilmer RC Midget realised $3700 on ebay yesterday. As one of the last to be produced, I thought it may go for more.

GEEZ...... I'm glad it didn't go for more. In the next week or so, it will start its journey to Sydney. Superb news...

Another Gilmer midget has turned up on ebay. Has a motor, a rare Kawasaki donk, but no radio gear or servos. Photos were only taken 8 days ago. Looks like another brand new car. As usual, another superb model by Jan.

This car sold for US$3950 at 4:30am this morning. That is $250 more than the Blue car realised 2 weeks ago and this one has no electrics!

A big " thank you" to Jose for visiting me at my house yesterday afternoon. We spent an hour or so chatting over all sorts of subjects. He also bought along one of his latest acquisitions ......................the blue #3 Gilmer midget. Whew ....what a car!!!! What's more, he left it with me so I can get a close look a a true Jan Gilmer car. Over the next couple of days I wiil get photos of his and my midgets together. It's fantastic having 2 of these rare machines in my house at the one time. Thanks again bud......photography starts tomorrow!

It was good to see a smile on an old man's face, oops, after the hard trot he has had. Enjoy it Bob, I know it's in good hands.

On ebay yesterday...... another Gilmer Sidewinder RC midget. Looks like it attracted no bids above the starting price of US$4200. Auction has ended. I notice it has Jan's nickname of TOAD on the hood.

Received an email from Preston Gilmer, Jan's son today. He wanted to inform me that the yellow #2 Offy Midget was still on the market. It's the 124th Gilmer Midget and the 9th in the "Offy Series" Preston can be contacted at......
pgilmer85@comcast.net
Jan still relies on the telephone for communication. Jan's #..... 0011 1 320 543 2395
He is in Minnesota USA so you can work out the time differential

Somebody just got a very good deal. $2500 for this Gilmer from Brazil. That's cheap and it took a long time to sell! Maybe Mark Hogue is on the money.

Jan replied to me and said he has another midget on ebay. Guys ...these cars are now very, very rare. Think about it! I think he has only built approx 125 or so cars since 1986, There are not a lot around.
