This is amazing

Yes, it will be interesting to see what it sells for.  The breakdown of the invoice shows who the restorer was and where the money has gone, wire wheels and 2 x mechanics x 3 days = £ 10K! at those prices it would rapidly add up

At least it's got an MOT now

This is a good solid reason why not to f*** with these cars and try to "make them better" and all that rot.

Want to restore it? Restore it properly. Period. Want something that is faster? Handles better?

Get a Porsche.

Totally agree Michael
£200,000 and still had to spend £1,600 just to keep this Frankenstein on the road. Some times they get it right, this case looks not so right.


They have been trying to flog this car for quite some time.

Still unloved.

This could be a good deal for someone looking to do an EV conversion. Get rid of the wire wheels, get rid of all the other ugly crap. Body looks good. Not having the original motor "frees" you in a way.
