Right then, straight to the point, do I buy this or not.
'cuneous' pointed it to me in another thread. Ideally I was after a 400, but it's a cheap one.....Does anyone know it on here?

North east from Bristol is a hell of a hike, just wondering if it will be worth hanging on or just going for this one....



I'll send the owner an email I think....

Or................

Does anyone know this one?

It looks quite nice, but not many details about history etc. The last thing I want to do after doing up two tvr's is to spend six months pulling it to bits.....

We know the one you mean.

That red 400SE looks beautiful doesn't it (I like red), but it seems to have hung around a bit now.
Do we know anyone who's had a look ?
Perhaps they could PM you with their opinion....

I can't comment on the 390 up this way, as I haven't seen the car, but if you do come for a look, you're welcome to call in for a cuppa. I'm only just next to the A19, as is wedg1e.

Lastly, I would urge you to SLOW DOWN. You young lads...tut tut.

Thanks Number 7, will do later on this afternoon, just off on a manic bike ride with my son. He's nuts so I may need a defibrillator to start me later on.

If you want something very fast, there's always this:
www.pistonheads.com/sales/81361.htm

I've only been advertising for 3 days and already 8 emails asking for more photos but not 1 phonecall yet...

Within the asking price, there is obviously a fair bit of room for haggling...

Just to clarify, it's the 400 that I know about.

Hi Lee,
Looks a very nice one, but I must scratch my 400 shape itch.
Cheers
