Saw this last night. Looks like it's really good value. Let's hope someone on here bags it.

The car is an honest car it's just the owner passed away last month and the cambridge he had is the car the family are keeping so this needs to go .
A sensible offer should buy someone a good useable classic , we thought about but couldn't justify it .

It would appear that it has now found a new owner - a Forum member, perchance? J.

No the man who owned the car died and a good friend of his is now selling it for the family . This car is nothing to do with us we just know it from when we saw it at shows driven by the owner who has now died . As to any profit there may or may not be well I think the family have other concerns at the present time and would rather the car go to someone who would appreciate it .

Currently bidding on this, so fingers crossed.

Trying to relive the days of siting in the back of my dad's old 145DL
