Hi guys,

found this a couple days ago, and since no one here mentioned it, i thought I'd share the info:

the car has its original shell, engine etc.. and comes with a heritage certificate.. only has a bit of rust on the top of the battery box.. On the plus side, the important parts are original, but it really could do with a makeover..
On the not so good side, it's halfway across the world.. That being said, the price is in US Dollars, so it is quite cheap when put into Pounds.. Shipping usually amounts to 1500 dollars I hear.. At least one bidder is from the UK, so he must think it's worth the trouble..

the reserve hasn't been met yet, but the seller says it's substantially lower than the buy it now price.. If i had to guess i'd say it's around the 17 000 dollar mark...

hope this can be useful to someone..

Shipping usually amounts to 1500 dollars I hear.. ..

More like 1500 pounds + plus Vat on the whole lot ! Even then it's still a left hooker on an age related plate with no trim or hydro.
