A couple of weeks after it went I had a chap wanting to know if it was still available because his name matched the reg No and he would have paid £200 for the personal plate.

Re: Classic for over £10K
The last one of those I sold went for £30 at Ledbury Auction after sitting unsold on my forecourt for six months. It was a tidy enough van, running but no takers.

Re: Classic for over £10K
I may be wrong but I suspect this car will make it to this thread, it is one 70's performance car that I never had the chance to drive, the nearest being a rally prepared Toledo which I drove for a friend on a rally in Wales when he was taken ill the day before the event and the entry and accommodation had all been paid for!! I didn't offer to drive it again after finishing 9th out of 34 on that occasion!

Yes please, thank you very much - but I'd prefer yellow over white if there's the option

Re: Classic for over £10K
Am I right they've something odd like head bolts that run though coolant passageways and so (given a bit of shoddy maintenance history then) corrode rather firmly into place?
(Gosh, don't know where I have plucked that from!?)

That's an SE, isn't it? More power and improved driveshaft couplings amongst other improvements.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
