You're right. The 1964 parts could be contained in a carrier bag. And probably were.

Oh dear. He seems to have "gone straight" now? That appears to be quite a straightforward sale. How disappointing :?

Thoughts on this mk1 please-
I had a deal struck to buy this car just under two years ago, spoke to the seller at length and all seemed good, he’d restored it himself with all pics to prove
Couldn’t go up to Leeds to pick it up until following weekend, offered a decent deposit and he said no need,it’s yours blah blah-then two days later get a call saying he’s decided to keep it -yeah right hahaha.
I’d agreed to buy it for 11 grand!
My point to this rambling post is this-is there anything wrong with this car?
Still seems very good value to me, but it’s been hawked around at various prices and by at least one other seller for a while now-
