Many pictures - why not? If there are just a few pics, what are they hiding? In the olden days when you have to pay for every photoprint it was different. But now, when often personal inspection of a car is not possible, I applaud the new habit of having 100+ pictures on various selling / auction sites. It seems Bring A Trailer does well with this format. Which includes a possibility to chat / ask questions to the seller, a nice thing.

Love the interior. I'm a car person, but even I couldn't remember the cloth upholstery on my "modern". No chance of forgetting the GT seats!

Absolutely Beautiful, i adore Cheviot brown. Not sure about the front seats, but despite that, a gorgeous GT!

Looks terrific now, but was obviously (bodywork-wise) a restoration project when offered for sale here on the forum just four months ago.

On that thread, there were plenty of people asking the owner for photos, but no one bought the car?

As we can see from Zac's photos, there was a lot of rot. Has that been correctly repaired I wonder?

It will be interesting to see what that goes for on car and classic. They have been getting very good prices and I have sold 5 cars via them in the last year. I just sold my Bentley Turbo R for 4 grand more than I thought it would make. It looks like the GT was in about the same state my GT is in so hopefully it will make good money as I will probably sell mine on once it is back on the road as I am rubbish at keeping cars long term.

Picture 58 looks a bit worrying at the bottom of the front wing/door hinge:

The car is showing as based in Harlow now. The original vendor implied the car was in Warwickshire but he was based in Switzerland. Maybe it did sell via the JOC posting and is being "flipped" by the current owner? As Keith suggests, it remains to be seen whether the extensive rot has been properly eliminated. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever...even with the £12k Martin Robey restoration all those years ago..
