Looks like 9930 was for sale in 2015 at Gullwing Motors for $37500. All the filler seems to have subsequently fallen out to compound its other issues....

That was a Cheap lovely looking Convert that Copper one PeterMan aye
Is it now in your Collection Mr Man?

[Peter Rothery]

No Grant, I did view both but didn't bid and decided to leave it to some other brave and wealthy enthusiasts to fix on this occasion.

The damp, mould, rust, dodgy wiring, modifications, general neglect, wear and tear, accident damage, comedy exhaust systems, oil leaks and mouse damage all seem to have conspired to keep me on the straight and narrow. When did you say you were having them delivered?

[Peter Rothery]

The vendor might regret not saving time and money by going straight for the latest offering from Gullwing Motors. £28,500 at todays exchange rate.

Best idea to avoid then Peter I reckon after your little eagle eyes went over it ..I think like me you have enough to keep you busy for our remaining years!!! ..I've actually been working on our convertible for past few weeks Peter ..No more projects needed this end!...Keep going My Ole Fruit

I had a pop at the red one. I was top bidder with a cheeky bid briefly 20 seconds before the end! The price on that jumped up a lot in the last seconds.

Shame the previous owners kept them in the sauna!

A copper brown convertible in fresh paint, manual, six pack, and new sheepskin inserts, following Felix's CV8 through the Twisties at the Swiss meeting. That was the dream. My last hope was that the buyer does a runner when he sees the car and that the underbidder gets it!

Obviously I was being cantankerous John with my comments, as it is a lovely ole bus that just needs some time spent on it..was it this one that you bid on then?..I somehow thought it was the other one (the red one)..Still think it was a cheap car even with the problems that it has highlighted by our general fault finding eagle eyed PeterMan

It was the red one I bid on. That was originally Copper Brown! That one did have sheepskin insets from the factory by the looks too! A lot of work though. I would have given it a go at what I bid...
