Great story though Frank.

It is....but how believable......there'd have to be a hefty mark up on this one if done commercially!

Was the front parked in the ocean?

No reserve and it has a V5, so it will sell and probably re-appear in a year or two; no doubt with a version of the chase story.

I'm sure I remember that one running around when new. I'm originally from there. There was also a red one in a local garage, I had the chance to buy for £9500 in 1982, doh!!

My cousin possibly had that car from new! He lived in Kinghorn near Kirkaldy at the time and I doubt there were many others around there in that colour? I've lost touch unfortunately so can't confirm Reg No.
I remeber as a kid sitting in my brothers lap in the passenger seat doing nearly 100mph on the coast road - Health and Safety ehh... but it started my love of cars..

and it was far worse than it even looked in the pictures, I doubt there was a panel on the car that was salvageable! It was literally crumbling on the spot, pieces of rust were dropping off and visible on the auction hall floor.

How much did it go for, surely the £132k mentioned above is in reference to a different car.

This Dino is sadly fit for scrapping. It will require a new chassis and body, and interior, who knows what the engine is like. After all that, what would be left of the original car!!?

No that is no mistake I was at the auction yesterday, the hammer fell at £110,000 so that equates to £132,000 with the buyers premium added!

Jesus!!!

Well I guess matching numbers and some trim parts...but thats going to be a big restoration.

 

[philw696]

By the looks of it Jesus might be needed after all he could turn water into wine and that will be needed I reckon on this one.
