Mark, Rich,

Here are two more to add to your stables. A Sebring / Targa Sprite collection:) If you need me to go and kick the tires for you, I don't live far from this seller.

It is isn't it. Most of them had more rust than that by their 5th birthdays! It would be a shame to restore it in some ways. Hard to find one more authentic I think.

Probably only ten grand or so more than it sold for!

£39K for a project, WOW!! We were speculating on here whether it'd fetch more than the last "barn find" mega original S which made just over £30K as I remember about 12mths ago or so. It did by some margin! :shock:

Just shows you, originality is king with stuff like this and buyers/investors are prepared to pay a premium for it.

Agree - it was the same with the Baillon collection, these also sold for premium price, despite their "rough" appearence.

They were also carefully removed from the estate, in closed trailers, to preserve the barnfind look.
