What an interesting find, doesn't look Radford though or anywhere near £45K either.

I bet, I quite like this quote from him that he had studied women for a very long time, had given it his best try, but knew "nothing." I can relate to that ! :lol:

Not too many shots of the interior, I'm thinking there may be a bar area ?

"Selling on behalf of POT"

At £45,000 I think someone has been smoking POT :lol:

Interesting car though.

He he, me too, I think there are several books on that subject :lol:

Nice car, but nothing "Radfordish" about it, thats just a std Rokee dash.

Chris Evans has just bought a Mk1 Cooper S which he was yakking about on his show this morning and this car's sold. Surely no coincidence ?

So that's what he was on about. I only heard the part about Twin SU's , lifting the bonnet and the engine saying, tinker with me.
I hope his (Ferrari) mechanic knows what to do. ;)

That looks a lot of fun, but "Cooper S" ??:roll:

I hope his Ferraris are a bit more authentic :lol: .

Well you could do that, but I guess compression would be down ;)

I heard bits of the show, I'm sure he said it was a 64 car he'd bought, maybe he got that bit right.

I didn't hear the show, but from what my Mrs said he was very happy to know that he had just bought a Cooper S that started out life as an 850.

I thought his honesty made a very refreshing change.

So I wasn't hearing things - I too caught the bit at the tail end about Webers and SU's - I assume his celebrity friend might have had some influence on him here :)
