Okay - if you are happy with that sort of budget then good fortune. The photos look fine, but this is a 50 year old motor car, so caveat emptor!

Let us know if you buy the motor car.

PS. I really would not want you thinking we had led you into spending your savings on a 144 when you really need an everyday runner. One of my motor cars is a 1963 Amazon, which is a fine thing but I would not attempt to use it as a daily driver (whereas I would have no problems doing that with my 1980 244). That 144 is somewhere in the middle, but I wouldn't want you thinking you could just jump in it and drive from Newcastle to London and back at weekends without a fair degree of planning and preparation. This would be the 1960s driving experience - which is very different from the 1980s one :-).
