Hi all,

Just been offered a series 3 , full interior retrim and electrics and bare metal respray just completed .

It hasn’t run for 4 years because of ongoing work .

I can have it for 70k which I think is great or 75 with an mot and running. Seller says will probabaly need 2-3 k to get it up to speed but could cover it all for 5 hence the 75.

What are your thoughts ? Would like to have headache free but then again not spend 5k when the seller may only scrimp and cost save on getting it just past MOT. I appreciate that the v12 could also be very expensive to fix. Value your thoughts!

That’s good enough for me , I’ll get him to get it sorted and running and take for test drive. Car has been restored to original and yes To a very high spec . The engine turned over last year then the reminder became unwell and car was left there until now . I’ve bought 2 other cars off the guy and thou I’ve had to put work in been satisfied ( he’s nit a dealer but a collector). But the other 2 were runners.

I got Colin Clarke to check over my urraco that wasn’t a cheap experience and it wasn’t even a service .

75 motd running and after a test drive seems like a good idea
