Just to be awkward I reckon £30,000 could quickly change into £60,000

You are of course right Roy, however the early cars are worth a fair bit of money nowadays.
Anyone buying it should go definitely go in with the prospect that it will need a full restoration. It's still interesting though.

No, no, no, no! I didn't mean this car should be bought to be restored! It's great just the way it is. With 356C running gear and a well-worn Pre-A body, it's wonderful as it is. Just carry out running repairs as necessary – and enjoy!8)

Can't get in close enough but are the tools wedged in a tear in the nose? Neat...

Great James providing the suspension supports and torsion bars are still in place to keep the body in place. Been there, seen it all.

Queer how this 356 preA with 356C disc brakes etc is running on its sixteen inch wheels and did they weld in the transmission mounts to take a C box as that car will have nothing to mount it too at the front end, cat poo, dog poo, no must be bull poo so to speak, as for bargain I'm not so sure..
