A long lost relation has their Metallic green '75 CX2200 Pallas sitting in a garage where it's been for the last 15 years at least.

The bodywork is in pretty good condition but I know it doesn't run.

Is there a market for these either as a restoration project or for spares? I don't want to stick it on ebay if there are enthusiasts out there looking for something like this.

I fear that would stretch the definition of "market" to breaking point.

Just in case anyone's interested, I recently sold this car to an enthusiast.

The car had been sitting in a garage without being moved or started for 30 years.

The new owner soaked the bores in diesel overnight, put some fresh unleaded in the tank, cleaned the plugs and points and it started immediately, rose up on it's suspension and he drove it around the block.

cool
