You'll have to get in the queue Nik :P

If I had more spare cash I'd have also made an offer for the Elford front.

Saw this today.
The front of the rear arches are rusty on both sides, and have been badly repaired at some stage. both chassis rails looked on there way out also. The interior is wet and covered in mildew.
Waste of time. I did not even hear it start as the guy walked off after two minutes??
I see it is up to £300 which is generous.
Hmm this got £525..... bought unseen me thinks
it made £473.85 this time

I actually thought it would have gone for a lot more than that judging from the photography BUT was in some doubt when I looked more closely at the engine compartment rear upper bulkhead (around where the brake pipes etc cross from offside to nearside) - looked to me as a clean up job not completed correctly.
Neverthelss a very fine example :)

Still a bit steep after reading your feedback.

I think if the red one from a few weeks back didnt sell for £2000 on ebay, this will not get near £1750. The red one was immac and had half the milegae!

Scuttle panel looks worse to me than stated - shame really as from afar it does appear to be nice but as we all know these little motors can make a habit of hiding their little rust demons. Not worth 4 figures in my book
