Come down in price a bit. Was for sale for AGES on ebay for around £6k + (maybe strated at 8?) IIRC - maybe even more (few threads on the yard). When one of the chaps viewed it in Devon all the cills were full of clag,bottom 12" were ropey and had a half decent/bad spray job.

Hopefully new owner/seller has addressed all the issues :ok (although front panel below lower grille looks like it hasnt been done yet in pics) :ok

Been looking for link on Brickyard but cant find it. Someone inspected it at a show and was horrified. Full of clag/filler and paint job wasnt up to much.

HOWEVER , i think it is unfair to right it off due to a previous ? owner -could have been nicely sorted by now and saying anything otherwise could be unfair to current seller.

If you are seriously interested i would be asking for very close up/specific shots of all/everything around the bottom 12" of the panel work and pay very close attention to finiah of paint.

I dont know about syncro specific stuff (VC/diff/box/prop) but certainly previously the bodywork has been 'poo-poo'd'
