Since someone hit my car. I've been thinking about just buying another one and flogging mine/turning it into more of a track car.

Anyway I was perusing E-bay when this had 3 seconds to go....

The hardtops worth what £400 on it's own. It's a great colour. And at the time it had £1022 as the price. Finally sold for £1,185.... yikes

I wish I'd bid on it now.

Sometimes they look OK in the pics but are really only worth that much!

Still, I've been looking for a hardtop to restore but can't seem to find one even on ebay.

Yeah check there every few days. I'm hoping to find one that needs paint or some other resto for around half that if possible. I have paint code 12K and it seems to be a not very common colour!
