28,600 miles, full history from new, new gel coat & paint job, show room condition £2,635

I've driven one - they're nasty !

I've been in one when the driver turned it over

All he did was start to turn right at about 15/20mph and then changed his mind and turned left and then over

Probally so atracted becuase it was the 1st car I walked into a show room to look at and said " WOW "

Gotta remember that when they were launched in 1969 man hadn't been to the moon !

and people were buying Morris Minors

[F Body]

Well lets pretend it's 1969 ?

OK so it's easier for me because I was there

Probably not.

I was about 7 at the time so 1986 (?)

I didn't have a camera and if my brother took any pictures they're sure to have been lost in his 20+ house moves since.



Was a sweet car - I remember the day he came back with a set of slot mags and, on realising they would fit, went and cut the rear arches and semi tubbed them.



Also the dashboard was great, just a black bar (of the roll-cage) and a speedo jubilee clamped to the steering column.

<sigh>

Memories . . . . . .

OK reality check , Management says  

But I've just rung the Guy and he's near Leicester, mechanicals and body work are A1, but the interior requires finishing ?

I was tempted to ask " What interior ? "

[HardRockCamaro]

Those Bond Bugs are not nice...
