Mark, not a bad looking car - sheepskin covers alone should be worth a bit of money. I think the car compares well with a Ch. 109 car that was purchased in WA a couple of months ago - and it certainly cost a bit more than what you are up to at the moment. Hope you do well with the car. Regards Styria

That was not a bad price ....
Congratulations

Excellent result, Mark. I am glad for you. That car made interesting reading at some stage on account of the hydraulic system modifications. Regards. Styria

N.B. I guess in the end we never got down to tin tacks on those mods.

Is it 'Blue Flame' that is next?

Final stats on the ad were 2589 views and lots watching when it finished (unfortunately Ebay doesn't seem to save the number of watchers after it's sold). 11 bidders and 13 bids. It does seem to give an indication of the cars popularity.... I did lose some money since I bought the car, but I have to remind myself that old cars aren't often profitable!!

I hope she goes to a good home and I see her displayed at a car show sometime in the future (like what's happened with another car I used to own)!

Yep she's next since I want to cull it all down to 5 cars plus my daily!

I’m still in contact with the current owner. Latest pix hopefully ready for the 6.9 Anniversary Cruise...

Did this one make the cruise?

 

[Oversize]

Nah she wasn’t ready in time so the owner brought his 560. Hopefully she’s not far off now...
