Not that I log in very often or even view as I am trying to fight the temptation at my age to go after a CV-8, but yesterday quite impossible to see the forum and today only I think by pot luck. For a fraction of a second I see the Board Index then it is replaced by the busy bar in the middle of the...

Well there's this one a 64 in Coventry with a start of £50k and no bids.

I see he's taking offers now. After more than three years, not surprising. £30k? In the last three years the market in general has really moved up. I presume having sat around so long the brakes are likely to need attention, again. And the coolant will be overdue a change. What else... Unless I misr...

I would have been the high bidder, but I cancelled my bid. CV-8... last summer, an American car rally in Yate, nr Bristol - we have a 63 Rambler Ambassador - there was a lovely oily rag of a CV-8 on Wolfies, 638 FDM, and I thought 'I like that'.
