1957 356A Speedster (yes a real one!) WITHDRAWN

Post by sprintstar67 »

Ok,so here goes!
I won't say its a once in a lifetime, but they don't come up very often!

As some of you may know, I have been wrestling with myself over the last few weeks as what to do, but finally I have come to a 'sort-of' decision.
So it is with a heavy heart that I have made the decision to sell my beloved Speedster. :cry:
She is far from being mint and has many issues, but is taxed and MOT'd, complete and ready for a full on resto or outlaw conversion. Currently she is running a 'B' super 90 motor and 741 trans, so is a bit of ripper!!
Pricewise, I have a figure in mind which I won't go any less than, and if I don't achieve that....I'll just keep her!

If you're interested, drop me a line or give me a ring.

PS, Paul from PRS, I'll ring you tonight!

To everyone who has been in touch, thanks for your interest, but I just can't do it, so I've withdrawn it from sale. :oops:

I hope to have many happy years together!

Cheers, Andy

Feel like a bit of prat having got a few peoples hopes up, but I think I needed to go through 'the process' to help make my mind up!

Well done Andy

After watching the stresses of getting it in the first place, it would have been a shame to let it go so easily.

Enjoy many miles of quality 356 driving
