Anyone know of this car ?
The reason I ask is that a long time ago a good friend of mine owned a 1968 car bearing the very same reg. no.

90% sure it was right hand drive though !!

No idea but it looks a nice motor!

That does not look like a 68 to me, or at least some parts have been changed. I would want a much closer look at that car.

Cheers

It has flared arches, LWB door panels and pockets, LWB horn grills and font and rear indicators, LWB door window frames, the rear overriders should have rubber covers, wrong engine cover and grill. Most 68 Ss had the S bumper and sill trims, this one has narrow trims.

Alan is right, this car needs very careful inspection. Of course it could be a LWB 69 model registered in 68, can anyone see the torsion bar covers in the silly little pictures?

Spoken to my mate who confirmed the reg. no. is the one - the car bearing that reg originally was a 68 coupe - RIGHT hand drive, white in colour and it was a Sportomatic !!! It also had an 8000 rpm rev counter (unique to one particular model ??)

What is the VIN and engine number?

This car is only at 10k with no reserve. Only careful inspection would tell if it was a Kn*ackered rogue or a potential bargain. Not to mention the odd situation with the number plate.

Whilst on the subject of S s there is a black 2.2S that has been around for a while now for low 20s. Either there is something wrong with it or the market is suffering from its usual end of season malaise.

DVLA website says its white and untaxed since 1984??.

I'd say tread carefully.

Thats about right - the car was about at the end of its life about that period. I do recall seeing it and it was rotting quite badly then, thats why he got rid of it! The bit he remarked about the rev counter going to 8000 rpm - would it have been an 'S' ?

T, E and S tachs all go to 8k, its the red line which distinguishes them.

Where is that Keith?

Page 128 of this month''s 911PW. Matching numbers, 62K miles, black, spent 12k in last 18 months etc. £22.995. 07703 173538.

Thing is that car was on e bay several times around september for similar money. The way the market is it must have some serious problems to still be hanging around at that money. Wonder if anybody has been to see it?
