Default 1800E for sale

Compared to some 1800's seen for sale on the internet, this one doesn't appear to be overpriced.

Not perfect, but it wouldn't take much to sort it!

beautiful , it would have to be rust-free for that price , That car has done a lot more than 29000 miles no doubt whatsoever but it has not done any miles except to the MOT centre since at least 2006 . , however no doubt that it is untouched , on top anyway .
A heck of a lot can happen to a car in 47 years .

How classic cars from the 70's have shot up in the last 5 years , It wasn't so long ago that this car would have been about £6000 they were that price for decades .
Earlier this year a 1965 Basic Hillman Imp went for £22000 at auction , it had done 84 Miles from New . You couldn't drive it though could you otherwise the price would dive like a stone .

It makes a mockery of it when you see he has a 1998 mini for £11,500 !

Funny thing is it’s not even a 122s lol , A cam with twin su s bolted on with some wide wheels etc

Both the auction house , trader and the register keeper has miss informed everyone crazy , crazy what on earth is going on ?

It’s a volvo Amazon 121 did they not even look at the v5 ? , decode the chassis number or even do a simple dvla check ?

The type plate does clearly show it is only a 121 but in all honesty once you start upgrading who cares what it started as as long as the mods are done right

All things aside it’s still a great car my only issue was it was sold on more than one occasion misleadingly as a 122s

They buy a lot from kings Lynn classic car auctions. We always find it interesting what they paid and what they are trying to sell it for a few days later. We know they need to pay their bills as well.
