Hans,

if you end up buying one that needs some attention and want it sorted in the UK before taking it home, drop me a msg I am only 30mins from Eurotunnel (Well 30 mins in a TVR!!)

The blue one has been at 2 recent shows that I have been to. I didn't spend a great deal of time looking at it. It is interesting in that it is a very early car and very original. I do remember it has a moon type sun roof that has been poorly sealed with messy silicone. I guess it is only worth £5k if you really want one of the first cars. Personally I would have thought it is over priced. It would need some work to bring it up to a good standard.

Yes I think overpriced too, around 3500 seems to me fair price. Decided to go first to bbwf and decide after or during the event.

Not around for BBWF due to prior commitments, but otherwise happy to help should you want a hand looking one over, or fixing up any issues prior to taking it home.

The red e-bay seller in Birmingham had a viewer he was 'just as old as me' so probably to old to buy. Today heard he doesn't buy. Now he reserves it for me. Asiel if I could come either the 8 or 10th around 13? Asked man (with car) of coming to feest, not a word about that, think maybe man to old? Would like co viewer, or possibly drive to topcats? Keep you posted.

Flea advert says Birmingham but no postcode.

Mark - given the fact that you've missed the run out the last two years - your priority is getting Poppy in line with the rest of us for a blast down the M40.

Don't want to implosie, I could go alone too and drive with sneller to Topcats OR somewhere. Besides aim for friday/sunday around 13hr. Guess arrive round midday near Birmingham friday and leave around same time sunday. Sunday could be much earlier since I wake up around 5am.

You're talking to the son of a brewer, first beer at 8 years. Even if I turn in at 3, it's no problem getting up much to early. Though I plan just to enjoy and be sensible. But we all know the tune....

Not sure that a HPI check would be worth the paper its written on, Especially for a car that has been off the road for 26 years...I have emailed the seller for some more info.

The tax is due since 1st February 1990 but the MOT ran out 2015?...The MOT could of been in an attempt to sell the car but my concern would be why it was not SORN?.You definitely do not want to be lumbered with 26 years of road tax!.

The guy selling the car on his behalf at Pountney Motor Services has good feedback from eBay sellers.

If i hear nothing from the seller in the next few days then i would be saying not to bother.


Cheers


Ziga

PS:
The blue one was seen at Goodwood yesterday...

Okay so a little update on the red one.

The owner got back to me this morning and explained that the car was MOT'ed last year in an attempt to sell, He sounds genuine so may be worth a look over the weekend of the fest.


Cheers

Why does he not tell me? Perhaps age? Sounds interesting indeed. Can't wait for bbwf, few potential cars and overdose of beauty larded with good people, good food, drink and Nice surroundings.
