For what it would take it would much improve the selling potential or is there a problem ? I would be bidding on the assumption it had mechanical problems, engine /gearbox, looks a nice car, but not being able to run it would put me off. Brian

I agree that no serious buyer is likely to be happy until they've seen the engine running. Cheers apax.

Absolutly stunning, apart from the fact it could be an absolute dog....non runner, no mot and hasn't been on the road for years. Why hasn't the seller got it up and running and put a test on it ? a couple of hundred invested at most...if it's as good as implied, looks fantastic, would have thought it would have been worth £12,000 up together.... but won't make that now.
