Pretty sure that car was up for sale not that long ago for a much lower price and was discussed on here at the time

I think it would have been in an enthusiast's hands and being enjoyed sooner if it were just left for an enthusiast to buy at the £65,000 price, but I can't say that for certain.

Rolling is a bit of a stretch! Crabbing probably a closer description!

Would be an interesting find if actually a Crayford but seriously far gone…
