Thanks for your comment Mark. The car still looks great, it's not quite standard anymore, usual greens etc, konis and poly bushes and now resides in Surrey.

I spoke to the current owner who did tell me he had no intention of selling this car or the other rare model he owns, so this must simply be the old advert as he and the car have been on stand with us this year at Middlesex shows & meets

Hi all, it's not for sale, the ad you have seen is well out of date. I've owed the car for 4 years and have no intention of selling. It does however still look exactly the same on the Rondells and it was at Central Day, Coombe and National Day this year on the Middlesex RSOC stand. I hope this clears things up
