I get disproportionately annoyed when dealers insist their car has ‘THE best colour combination’ like it’s an objective thing. It makes them sound like a child. On that basis I won’t be making an offer.

She'll be a pretty penny then, even in that state "the best colour combo"

This car has not been driven for 25 years
It still does not have a V5C

According to Frank, '64 901's are worth $1M+ (not sure if I agree)

Going off those pictures there seems to be question marks over the ‘original’ claim.
I’m not a 64 expert by any means but I’m not convinced by the front seats, door furniture, wiper arms/blades, engine lid (although the raised 64 grille look correct), sunvisors (seem to have changed colour), front lhd indicator unit, missing bonnet badge and obviously exterior paint. Maybe others will chime in who have more knowledge. Perhaps original or unmolested means different things to different people. No doubt a rare car though and as they say ‘find another’. Worth a million? , I’m not sure either.
Is that Frank back in the ESR fold now then?

Mike

Clearly a cheque book resto here, no “short-pipes” here, sorry meant “short cuts”
