I'm not in the market for another, but this looks a nice car.

Indeed it does, my favourite colour combination (apart from green of course!!!). H439BTA, do we know it? Thought it was the ex jimed car but his had red carpets. Looks to have been well looked after with some detailing evident. Price has a long way to go yet!

Airbag? Austin has got an inflatable travel pillow in the passenger glove box. It's the nearest I could get.

ESP? He knows where the best roads are. cloud9

Adjustable steering wheel? No, but the seat slides backwards and forwards. Not when I'm driving though, that would cause problems.

It is an auction ...why would he tell you what the reserve price is ?

Why would he not? It's a common enough thing at an auction to disclose the reserve price. There's no benefit in keeping it secret, and it helps sort the wheat from the chaff so to speak.

To be fair its common practice to ask the seller what the reserve price is, You can then make the decision if its worth the trip to view it before bidding.
(Some sellers will start the auction at the reserve price)

Anyway, have heard back and the reserve is £7500

Worth it if the chassis has been well restored.

However the gear knob is at the wrong angle so maybe a Cat C/D

(The last bit was a joke smile )

Is it worth £7500?... would be a nice addition to the Griff... or is it better to get a shed and do it up?....
