This car is for sale at the Bonhams Auction at Goodwood. I know someone interested in the car. Does anyone here know it?

Don't know the car but for the price I would have expected it to be a bit more original - it has a number of incorrect parts on it (eg door handles, instruments, wheels, etc).

Having subsequently seen from the Bonhams' link that the car is in fact a 1968 model, then my comments above about incorrect door handles & instruments no longer apply.

I remember this one, as it looked like a pretty good buy last year...
Didn't it sell in just a week, I thought it was a DDKer who bought it?
Still in our For Sale archives...:

Might be worth contacting that previous owner for some in the know details...

Don't remember it either... not sure about the ride height either

how much ?

also it's either a 68 model year or it's a 67 with a 68 interior, and as has already been said above way too much incorrect stuff for that sort of price in my opinion

nice number plate though

I've just seen from the VIN in the Bonhams' link that the car is in fact a '68 model...

... therefore my original comments about incorrect instruments & door handles are no longer valid.

aahaaa of course the quirky 68 interior, that explains the gauges

Still pricey with no history on the motor

Unfortunately it's about 3 hours away, I've been deported to the North! Hopefully down visiting some friends in your neck of the woods in the not too distant future,I'll pop in and you can make me a cuppa... and maybe some lunch!
