At The Auctions

That looks a good car to buy and use doesn't it. Even if he has left the door pull cords on and left the overriders off. I think it looks great. It'll be interesting to see what that makes at auction.

ON FB , quite a nice unmolested 850 - price is bit optimistic, unless shell is better than it looks....

Nice early one but looks like the salty coastal air has got to it

Needs a lot of bodywork I reckon. Nice original spec though isn't it? It's on ebay as well. Auction is upto £3,000 so far - reserve not met.
It would be a mistake to underestimate the cost of restoring a car like this I'm afraid.

£16,388 achieved for this, seems a good buy

I agree. That is MUCH less than the cost of creating such a car! I'd be glad to own that.

A really cracking little Aussie 850.

I'm normally not one for extra trims etc, but that Aussie 850 looks very smart and unusual.

That's exactly what I thought. A real time warp car.

That does look bloody good and a nice history too!

That is absolutely lovely!

Steep estimate though.

Yes is nice, good to see the original period "extras" especially the "Works" wooden auxiliary switch panel

I love the classic 1960's style respray on the outside only paint job.

A very difficult car to re-create, you see less and less of these cars with real history. if it was mine, I would try and avoid the temptation to change it.

Very steep, mid 20s tops I’d guess nowadays and personalised cars aren’t easy to sell!

Did think the estimate was high, and best of luck if they get it.
Would be sad if anything was done to it other than tidy it up and use it.
Looks like the auction is just up the road from me and if I can get the time would be good to have a nose at it in the flesh, so to speak.
