I seem to re-call that car from when it was for sale a good few years ago when it didn't look any where near as pretty as that. Oh! And the sunroof....

I have this in my Database with some other pics of this car. It's titled BKV 2012 but I don't recognise the venue. Anyone?

Thorseby Hall, it was the 50th anniversary of the VOC and the Amazon Estate

That was the year we had a bump on the way there, does anyone know the owner as we often chatted to a couple with a white estate who had a folding caravan and stayed next to us one year at Hatton but can not remember their names but they came from up north he was a tall gentleman and she had long hair we think they had a transport business and were not at Hatton last year

The above car sold at Auction for £8,505 including premium.

Is this the one, now at £12750?

Oh my!! I have to say that I nearly fell off my perch when I saw £8,505, but £12,750....

I appreciate it's been restored to a good standard judging by the photos, but that sunroof. I just don't see what you could do about it; you can't put a Webasto in an estate, you couldn't fill it in. Could you change the whole roof panel? Perhaps painting the roof brown has been some effort to disguise the glass roof.

I have to say it, I'm surprised noone's negotiated a good price on the £12k Amazon Estate that's been advertised on Ebay for a while now. Personally, I thought that not far off £12k is about the value of that car. Wrong time of the year to sell classic cars. I bet it would have sol,d by now if the sun was out

Another one:

I'm speechless noone's bought that one. It was for sale this time last year when I bought mine, but far too far from home to have considered buying it.

£12k for either of those white ones compared to a low mileage original one? No contest in my opinion.

Glad I bought mine when I did.

You could maybe glue a section in, maybe...
