Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Wow! Identical to my Turbo Metro except mine was on a D Plate... Wish I still had it, along with my 205GTibobins wrote: 20 Nov 2024, 20:18 Mathewsons have a few coming up for auction next week that are suitable for the 'Under £10k', and a few in the 'Over £10k'.

Re: Classic for under £10K
That is amazing and quite shocking for what in my eyes is one very desirable car... I'd have thought it would have been at least double by now...mickthemaverick wrote: 26 Nov 2024, 09:37 Hard to believe the current bid level of this given the history that comes with it!!![]()
Be interesting to see both what the reserve is and what it finally makes... At this rate I can't see it making the reserve...
Strange...

I can only assume that the CAT C listing is the damaging factor!

Re: Classic for under £10K
You don't see these around at all so a possible future gem. I liked them in the 70s for the smooth ride and comfortable seats:

Re: Classic for under £10K
That car went cheap!!!!!!!!!! It's surprising today that so many cars were crushed because of a Cat C superficial damage because new parts were more expensive than the cars worth. I might need to open a scrapyard.....mickthemaverick wrote: 26 Nov 2024, 09:37 Hard to believe the current bid level of this given the history that comes with it!!![]()
