Its fair to say it's a Mk2 with a Radford interior but never been established to be the work of Radford. Trim is older than the car, lovely car though!

No chance, hopefully in a few more years I'll be able to retire on the profit :)

I'm starting to think that people are only doing this to annoy me

how fricking hard is it to look at the back quarters for some inspiration when you fit the fronts!

:lol:

I honestly think that if I ever see a single car with the holy trinity of crimes that are upside down door cards, upside down calipers AND a fan on back to front I might just explode

Yes a very nice original S 65 in the US. I would have bid $20k, but it's now at $30k - so the market remains strong.
That's really really nice. I'd leave it like that. I imagine it will be restored to factory ++++

My brother sold a set of Calipers last week to a customer. Went around the other day and that's exactly what he had done. :lol:
