What a beaut.  Got to be worth at least £3,500.

Wonder where the seller finds them, looking at his history he's got an impressive record of dry stored cars, including a Mini Cooper S with less than 300 miles on the clock which went for £13k!

Looks like Green Fly! how lovely... I wish I won the lottery... the £10 I won on a scratch card the other day was nice but not quite enough. Hope who ever buys it comes on here.

Yeah, I have been reading up on barn finds and garage finds. If you have the time, patience and money then there is a real market for finding old cars.

In America they call it 'Automotive Archeology'. It could catch on here in the UK as a hobby, but it involves people actually going out wandering and looking for tucked away cars.

Anyway if you have the money and time like this guy does then its clearly worth doing.

He had it on Gumtree for £7000 !!!

I contacted him as I thought it was £700 :$

I am sure he was told it is worth a fortune by someone.
