I bloody hate Price listed as POA. To me it implies they'll see how much they can blagg from you before sticking a price on it. Stupid bullst practices like this have turned the classic car scene into an asset market full of spivs and speculators forever pricing out real enthusiasts.

Most of this stuff should be a fraction of the price it is. Im so glad this crowd never made it to the classic motorbike scene

The POA thing really bugs me too. Just smacks of chancing.

Its at least 10k overpriced.

Could be the photo's but the blue of the stripe kit is too light, and where's the radio? The factory wood dash/centre console option included the radio as well.

Otherwise its look a nice restoration, although that wooden gear shift knob needs to go in the bin.

This is a very ambiguous statement. If you mean the stylist then Ian Callum was indeed the guy. If you mean the chief engineer who actually oversaw all the important bits then that is someone else (much more modest and talented) entirely. And as for the guy who turned up on Wheeler Dealers and wobbled on about the third rear spoiler...

Nice car though...
