if youre bidding youre going to go and look, so the pics are only useful for pointless forum discussion. If its genuine tho I think chip-3dr would swap his left bollock for it

I dont see how you can describe a car with 40 years of rot in all the rubber suspension components etc as "as new" but sounds like a very rare car.

Not something I would actually want myself though, as I would only end up turboing it or something which would be a chronic waste!

If it was a 970cc though, Ali is right, but they could have my right one too

but surely youd like a couple of pics first to give you an idea of what you might be bidding on before your likely to even think about going to see it

Maybe the people bidding already know the car

In answer to the original question I would swap the car I'm currently driving for it as it's worth nowhere near that much
