Re: Rare FF Mk3 going to auction
Looks very good with some nice body lines and when do you get the chance to buy a MK3 FF.
Will require a bit of recommissioning but it would be great to see it back on the road again.

Re: Rare FF Mk3 going to auction
There's a MK3 FF going nowhere, after a full restoration at Cropredy some years ago.
It drove into the a warehouse and hasn't moved since.
Having seen the car it is mint, as it's in an all air conditioning area.

Colin, are you referring to this car or to another Mk3 FF?colin7673 wrote:There's a MK3 FF going nowhere, after a full restoration at Cropredy some years ago.

Re: Rare FF Mk3 going to auction
Front corner of the hatch looks very odd on the above?

Re: Rare FF Mk3 going to auction
Having consulted Ulric Woodhams oracle, this car has been in Devon since September 1983 and the purchaser still owned the car in 1990 so you are probably right John - it has been in a garage for 25 years or so.

The owner is still very much alive but elderly. Lots of people remember seeing it driving around East Devon.
Potburys will forward some more photos later this week.

Re: Rare FF Mk3 going to auction
On the light blue one in the picture above (not the one just found) the gap does not look even round the front corner.
