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.
