Might have got somewhere near the money pre Covid, no chance now unless somebody eventually really takes a fancy to it. Despite all the comments to the contrary on Facebook it looks genuine enough to me.

Yes, traditionally bidding will get lower each time an item doesn’t sell

And we wonder why the DVLA sometimes appear to be heavy handed...all nicely documented, apart from the "Built up vehicle inspection report". ;)

So many overpriced sketchy cars like that out there currently that just will not sell because the vendors are in complete denial about the current state of the market. There’s a very reasonably priced hillclimb/rally Mini Marcos on there currently though and ‘62 Super project that looks interesting.

What do we think of this? "It is in Very good condition for its age. This is the perfect car for a showroom or an office or any place to have it on display" - Yes, no VIN-tag so actually it is ONLY for show purposes. Just tell the visitors that the cleaner is currently in jail for refusal to work :lol:

Quite possibly... allegedly...! There was a red RHD one for sale a year or so back.
