I think a while Murdo.

'The Market' auction house is not far from me.
A good pal went and had a look at the car - a very nice example, but possibly a little optimistic with the price was his summary. A few areas requiring improvement.

Let's hope it finds a good home soon - I do like a white Sprint.

I was keeping an eye on this one. The auction ended last week with a high bid of £10,000, reserve not met.

...and it's back up for auction again soon, this time with a estimated £8,500 price tag rather than the previous £10,000. No reserve this time though.
