Exclamation FAO Brodgar and anyone else re 740gl for sale

Hi sorry i havent been online for a while , also i cant private message due to not enough posts yet.... anyway my 740

1986 manual 5spd (no od)
silver estate
123k miles one previous owner
B230k engine (so carb)
a bit of history most of which i found in the back of the drivers seat
had head work done at 117k including new valves and timing belt etc
'ox blood' red interior in ok condition but has a few cracked plastics here and there
usual fuel/temperature gauge troubles although fuel reads the last 10 pounds or so of fuel!
clutch ok bites fine if a bit high
brakes seem fine with good feel
exterior wise the nearside indicator/dayrunning light unit could do with replacing as been previously repaired poorly and is cloudy
also the offside rear light unit has has a piece knocked out of it and has tape on it...
Previous owner combatted the corrosion on the tailgate with some paint. . . not a great job but its solid ...
running wise its good , from cold a couple of pumps of the throttle turn the key and it fires up fine choke works well in that respect although the idle can be a bit up or down from time to time but i think people find that with the pierburg carb....
cd player installed will go with it - kenwood thing
all trim is there but front tow flap is missing, it fell out somewhere
i have fitted a towbar but so far only used it to manouver a horse box in a field
all in all for 25 years old its good, i have had alot worse cars that are much much younger, but now i have to move it on as my other half has increased her distance to go for her flaming horses....
