Does this belong to anyone on here or does anyone know the car? What is it worth?

This car went through the H and H classic car auction in Harrogate last year . It is reputed to have belonged to Bono .

I had a good look at the car and whilst the colour certainly polarised opinion , it appeared in good cosmetic and structural order throughout .

I think it went for about 16k

I know nothing about the car, but I do love that colour.

I must admit - wasn't keen on the colour at first but it is growing on me too - like a fungus! redface

(but the less said about that too! hehe )

It is not a 'modern' colour but is certainly typical of the era imho smile

jeez £20 (!) - when you could get a serviceable one for less than £17.50 back in the 1980s!

What was the name of that bloke who services and restores lots of the old Espada's, GT's etc? Colin or Graham somebody - anyone know who I mean? Can somebody post his number?
