I`d prefer not to ebay it... or Auction it for that matter and so to advertise it I would need a starting price.
For those who haven`t seen it for a while/are unfamiliar, my car is a 1968 2.0S, matching numbers, in non original Albert Blue. I would say it`s a good driver, the syncromesh on second isn`t brilliant and there is rust starting to make an appearance at the bottom of the drivers door, bottom of the front wings and spots on the back bumper. Shut lines could do with tidying up, although Lee Peacock has always said this is do able.
Looking on the bright side, I`ve looked after this car as well as I could. The brakes are restored, the carburetors have had much love bestowed on them, rebuilt by Canfords, it runs MSD, has SSI heat exchangers and SS silencer. Mot`s till next July. Loads of receipts, as they say.
I`ve owned the car for 6 or seven years and have put about 30k on the clock.
Gentlemen, I would appreciate your views.
Regards, Mike.
) the best cars, in need of no, or minimal work. Any sniff that the car is a potential restoration candidate is enough to put most buyers off. The market is then limited, but not solely, to dealers or restorers, who will obviously be looking to profit from the restoration. The other downer is the non-original colour, which may entail just a respray, but will require at minimum door skins and front wings, possible rear bumpers, oh, and while we are at it, a gearbox rebuild.
