Hmmmm....well, a fool and his money are soon parted, so his optimism may not be unfounded......

Funnily enough I saw that and was thinking of posting something similar. Beat me to it.
I think the price is about right......it's just that the decimal point needs to be moved 2 digits to the left.

I think he'll get offers, as he has set the tab for people to make them, whether he likes them or not will be another matter........
Best wishes,
Mike.

There's a used parts trader on eBay currently trying to flog a used Traveller rear wing that needs rust repair for just under ninety quid. All you can do is sigh and move on, who 3,he might find someone daft enough to pay it, and if not then it'll be back in a few weeks with a more realistic price tag

Some of the chrome doesn't look too bad
That said it took me a while to notice the lack of a windscreen, still - there's another thread asking how to stop your windscreen misting up so maybe we have a solution !

So do you recommend removing only the front screen or all the glass, just to be on the safe side?
I know, perhaps we could ring them for advice, it may be wreck but I have to agree, its not misting up........
Best wishes,
Mike.

The sellers eyes may have been misting over when he assessed its potential sale value...…..

The penny has just dropped, I know why these people ask daft money for useless stuff! His wife has been nagging him for something expensive, a kitchen, a cruise, a house extension.
‘Of course we can dear. We’ll be able to afford it just as soon as I can sell this valuable classic car stuff. Everybody knows anything for classic cars is worth loads of money. I’ll put it all on ebay.’
Might take a while though.

And seat belts too. I recon it's had quite a refurbishment some years ago. Still got a full set of window chrome...
A pity there's not more photos.
According to the DVLA site, it's not on a SORN, but is untaxed since Sep 2017. If the records are correct, it's still got the original 800cc power plant.

In that jungle he’ll probably have to pay someone to remove it!
Picture 3 appears to show a wheelbarrow.
