There's a good choice of paint colours on that ! I think I see about 5. There could be a trace of the original white on the floor.

I notice the heritage trace states the trim colour as red and grey. Could this be a seven ? ( edit. super :roll: )

I've seen it on a few listings, and I can see why..
Item sells for £11,000 and paid for by bank transfer or cash - you get £11,000
Item sells for £11,000 and paid for by PayPal - you get 97% (£10,670) and PayPal gets 3% (£330).
I assume eBay gets the same share either way

Blimey I'd better get my set out of the loft then!
I knew that they were quite sought after but really?

It'll be interesting to see if they sell. There was a single one up for grabs the other week for £349 not sure if it sold or not?
