Mike Bainbridge told me ‘110 percent were autos’, but there were more manual early cars than people think. Across model years I think it is probs around 3/4 that were automatic.

OH MY GOD I’m tempted. I can’t understand the Spanish but…looks better than mine was, and its only £7k.

Looks like its Oak Green too or similar. Oof.

C’mon somebody. Just look at that pasha :drunken:

Hmmmmm....
Senor Google Translatio says that "Etc por 2000 euros más doy motor 4,5 cc de repuesto. " offers an additional 4.5L engine. The pesky small print also offers replacement doors, bonnet, etc.

Might be a bit broken? Or might be fine. Who dares wins!

So close. I was near there a week ago on my bike. But I’m now 600km away and too tired to ride back to get it.

Got anything near Santander?
