Oh well, the advert for the 145 has disappeared 🙁. Hey ho, at least it takes away decision making from me, or rather indecision and general faffing about.

Cheers

I can resist most things except temptation Steve and i get the idea you're similar and that 145 was temptation in sheet steel.

However i suspect it would have been fraught with problems, not least of which would have been repatriating it to east Suffolk.

Yes, you expect a few problems with a used car, especially a 50+ year old one but no sense deliberately adding to them by buying one from another country!

Dave,

Well that contains so much truth, funny how us chaps seem to block out potential problems when looking at old motors to buy.

Hey ho, the 145 hunt goes on😀👍

Is this our old friend back?

Odometer has read the same for at least 14 years. Last change of ownership, February this year.🧐

Looks as though he’s been on he’s holidays, or perhaps a bit of Photoshop Eiffel Tower😀

Cheers

PS - must not be so pessimistic, just seen this motor on FB Marketplace and video of it going round L’Arc so fair play.👍

Can someone remind me what is actually up with this one? Looks a bit rough or has someone looked more close. I’m quite close and am tempted to go have a butchers

Hi Lightyears,

Well I’m even closer to this than you, but I seem to recall this cropping up months ago, and if I think the main worry at the time was what the quick basic re spray was covering.

If you’ve got time, then it’s really not that bad down here in Suffolk 😀,

Cheers
Steve
