Still can't do links from eBay mobile.

Item number 281294680564.

Not sure it's the best description I've ever read but a nice looking car.

It also doesn't inspire confidence when it says trailering recommended if traveling a distance!

Also.."unmolesred" = Is that the colour of the interior?...And..."very saught after "...As said..Recommend a trailer if travelling long distances????.....Even when Delilah was running like crape she drove 250 miles with only a clutch cable snapping which was a side of the road fix!..Did nearly 500 miles on receding valves!...Perhaps the 25 or so miles a week its done over the last five years has something to do with it!...Rust in the fuel tanks..Failing metering head...Rotten accumulator...Who knows...At that price i would take my chances on a reasonably conditioned V8...Ziga

Values of Wedges are on the up! Or should that be asking prices?

Brave trader to sell a Wedge with problems, although his price probably includes some warranty work. Wonder if those magical words "sold as seen" will appear on the receipt?

Especially after the ad claims it's gleaming, no expense spared, maintained and rebuilt to high standard. The only problem is that if you wont do a long road trip it's probably best done on the back of a low loader!
Sinicism apart, it is an old car and maybe the brakes, shocks and auxiliaries etc could be better. It's all there though and if he would take £3k?

Would appear this car hasn't had much interest as they've lobbed a grand off the price since it was originally posted, a bit more haggling and it could be a rather tempting prospect for someone looking for a cheap wedge....

I went to look at it yesterday and the car wouldn't run, it has a split in the rear screen, the passenger door was a different shade of white, the targa panel needs recovering and the windscreen wasn't fitted correctly so definitely needs to be put on a trailer to be transported any distance
