An Austin Cambridge estate for our american cousins, it'd be ideal for towing a MK1 to the race track.

cars have been rebuilt around less, so this is as good as a chassis plate as far as provenance goes......

No one has bid the £445 starting price. How odd

That's Gerry Braithwaite's , so it came off this:

I borrowed the car (and what a fantastic car!!) a couple of times for events, one was for a classic car show in Manchester in the early 90s. Gerry was fine about it but his jaw did drop slightly when he came to the show with his wife on opening day to see it jacked up on one corner, surrounded by rocks, compost, logs and covered in spray on fake snow! :lol: (anyone remember that??) Top bloke Gerry. (also owned OBL 48F when it was still an 8 port!)

It did come off GRX 195D but it is the owner before Gerry who is selling it.

I think you'll find they are identical, reproduction vs reproduction at 6 X the price.

Yup, They are exactly the same item.

Funnily enough though, one is reproduction, the other fake :lol:
