One of the guys in the UK asked if I could put the word out that he is selling this car as his collection has gotten too big.
  • 1974
  • 75% OG paint
  • steel sliding sunroof
  • 11k miles from new
The story with the car is that it was bought by a lady in Oregon new in '74 and when she got too old to drive it was parked in their barn. When she died her nephew, who was left the car in the will traded it in against a new car. The mileage is only 11k from new and it's fully registered in the UK now having just gone through an MOT.
It's not 100% perfect - the owner would describe it as 7.5 out of 10 although others have seen it and said it's closer to a 9 out of 10. Either way, this is a very original car that has a few stone chips and poss the front passenger wing repainted many years ago.

Oh yeah, that would help I suppose eh? He's asking £7.5 but he's open to offers. I'd say £6.5k would buy it. He's got a few more cars due to arrive so he has to cull the fleet before they land.
