It is a nice looking car. I'm scratching my head a bit about the 4 into 1 exhaust manifold. Must be very rare!

It is a nice car. It sold at auction around August time (at Blenheim Palace I think?) for about £6000 if I remember correctly?
Great colour combination.

I was hoping I was the first person to spot the "4 into 1 exhaust manifold" but sadly I was beaten to it :-)

Does look like a nice car though, but I suspect it has had a little more "fettling" than the seller would like to have you believe.

I once had a customer ask for a 4 into 1 exhaust manifold, when I looked puzzled he said,.....'you know, three at the top, one at the bottom, goes into one downpipe'

Not a colour you see too often on anything but a Cooper - very nice!
