It would be nice if it went to a forum member, always nice to have these early cars in the club!

Post by: Bar Vitelli on February 11, 2013, 06:44:13 PM: Wow!

It's at Â£731.00 already...could be a Â£1.5k+ sale! :o

Looks like a great restoration!

Very tempting - but seen something even nicer on eBay - if only I had the cash (and the space) !!

;D

Post by: Bar Vitelli on February 20, 2013, 02:14:24 PM: Not me...although I was tempted !! ;D

Â£1246.46 for a restoration but looks to be worth every penny !! ;D

Hope it's gone to a good home...

Post by: 1973/126 on February 20, 2013, 02:29:01 PM: Not me either :(

I wish I never sold our blue 73 car, as it would be very hard and expensive to replace it if I ever wanted an other one.

Post by: Kent126 on February 20, 2013, 02:30:09 PM: I just guess the price of these early ones keep going up!

Post by: bis13 on February 22, 2013, 10:25:09 AM: I saw this ad the other day and knew it was Chris Lakin his nickname is tiff and the seller is Tiffer1986 (or similar) this car was bought from an old boy just around the corner from where he lived in uxbridge. It looks like it has been laid up and not much done to it since, from what i remember it was a solid car and if he says the sills need doing then that's not such a big deal along with the spare wheel well.
