I've Just bought a 1971 144 GL
Hi Everyone,
I've just managed to find abd buy a 1971 144GL after the best part of 7 years of searching. does any one else own a 144GL ? - just how rare are these , I've looked just about ever week on ebay and the various other car sales sites and this is only the second one I've seen for sale and the other one was a later flush handle model. if any ones intrested I'll post some photos Simon |

Congratulations, nice colour, and that interior will be great when it's tidied up.
howmanyleft.co.uk says there are 8 on the road and 2 SORN, so pretty rare! Kind regards Lucien |
