Ha ha, yeah they do go a bit wordy with the description. Quite the opposite to a lot of ads on eBay written by morons using only capitals and no punctuation making it near on impossible to read!

Then a few more came up the motorway and I couldn't believe it. Still get that excitement now when I see one lol

Remote locking /unlocking then? Very basic description and no engine bay photos either. It would have to be looked at very carefully I reckon.

Hi Glenn,when I am out in mine I am usually the oldest vehicle on the road and the only time you see another Cossy is when there is a show on.Back in 1994 when I got mine you still saw quite a few others.

You don't see any old cars period on the roads anymore.
By me there's very few old style prefix registered cars about,well apart from my daily,a p reg hilux surf.
There is a guy who runs an ancient 2 door honda/Datsun thing,it must be about 1976 and he runs this thing all year round,it's a total mess and he's an mot tester so that may explain a lot.
Also in his garage he has a factory low owner bubble arched mk1 twin cam escort,a few other mk1's,granadas,bedfords etc but he's a tad eccentric and all are in storage or outside his house,think he was offered a huge amount for the twin cam but turned it down,1 of those things that's never going to be for sale.

My good friend has owned the blacksmith shop across the lane for 25 years,in that time the doors been open barely a few times,he knows it's there as he re sheeted the roof a few years back and the guy hold him all about it.
The owner is eccentric and still lives with jus mum at 50 odd years old,it was his dad's car from nearly new and he died last year so can't see it ever coming out.a true barn find.
