Not too sure about that top.
Looks ok with it folded down though.

Yep madness. They haven't even bothered painting the engine bay.

To me it looks like it needs a lot of work to get the car to a reasonable standard but could probably be made usable with a little work. The tyres look to need to be replaced due to age and overspray

It clearly is worth more than I think with it already having a 19k big and reserve not met!

This project will need about £23.000 upwards spent on it to be anything near good enough with that all said plus the £19,000 upwards buying price it's way over priced and would give it a wide birth

Summary money pit to rip apart and correctly strengthen, repair , rebuild , repaint and re trimm

Also is it down in the log book as convertible ? Q plate springs to mind with no historic vehicle status !?

MONEY MONEY MONEY

Be warned

Kind regards

Is this car in a format that it can be correctly road registered?
Without this assurance the car might be only worth £1,900.....

On the road and MOT to 2/2018. He's had it since 2004 apparently so I'm surprised no one has said "I know this car". As you have one of these in the family Robert, I would have thought that person might have been you, or your dad?
MOT history might be interesting..........

Hi derek ,

Dad did have one but he sold it last year as the right owner came along , dad only took it to events so glad it's being used and with a collection of high end cars in a collectors portfolio but he is using it regular he's always wanted one and he favours that over most he has in his portfolio he said with a family ready to take over so I hear .

Kind regards

I asked Karl Erik Malberg if he recognised it and he said no. Also said he might be able to find out more if he had the reg number, from "VOC records".
