Not as good a bargain as this one methinks

www.pistonheads.com/sales/57893.htm

I would imagine that sold the day it was advertised.

Bugger me, anyone know if this one had some hidden history. Bloody cheap if not.

cheap but what was the mileage?

That 450 is a bargain. Looks immaculate and from the description of the rebuild work it should be A1. Low mileage, and the 4.5. Blimey.

I think there was a thread on it. IIRC he was replacing with a Tuscan and wanted to complete the change as quickly as possible

It was my car & there was no negative history on it. Went to a lovely bloke who flys helicopters for the RAF. He says he'll be online with PH soon, so you can ask yourself what he thought!

The reason it was cheap is because I wanted to turn the cash around quickly having just forked out for a Tuscan that I shouldn't really have bought (although Mrs flyingjase has calmed down a bit now!)

It was sold within 2 hours of placing the ad

Thanks guys - I've always wanted a Black Tuscan 'S' and when I saw this one I just had to do whatever it took to get it!

Don't know if you noticed on the engine bay pic that the chassis number(stamp),has been blacked out ?.(on the front upper cross member, thats where it is on my 95'anyway ).
Could be a little concerning !!.
The V 2000 was a good one, by the look of it.

Hiya, cool stuff. Hope you weren't offended by my question re the history, just a genuine enquiry as seemed an excellent deal for someone. Echo the comments on the Tusc, it looks sublime.

I shouldn't really have bought

The Tuscan looks fantastic. Must be well worth the ear bashing.

Not offended at all - completely understand that sometimes things can seem 'too cheap'. In the past I've not bought a car for that very reason!
