Cheap "Wedges"
Discussion
I went to see the 2.8 FHC on ebay at 1100 quid.
It was a 2+2 (not mentioned in the ad, but I'd figured it).
Only got a cursory look, as new owner was coming back from test drive.
Initial impressions were....sitting very low, rusty tailpipes, paint possibly non-original, chassis (?). Rusty door frames. Interior, don't know, but rear hatch leaking and original interior out on the lawn pretty much trashed (I didn't ask what had replaced it).
A good few grand to spend there just to make it 'habitable' and a good drive.
You get what you pay for I guess.

Ah...been re-listed. 
Last time I messaged the seller and asked if there were any pictures where it wasn't in the dark and covered in muck.
Even lazy t
t that I am....would've given it a clean. 
Sorry, but I wouldn't even get out of my seat to look at a car (or rather - OWNER) like that. It tells me everything I need to know.
