Well Adam...all you do is get yourself a pair if racing overalls and walk up and down the pit lane with you helmet in your hand...That will do it mate.

and get a GT3 Cup car with loads of Pirelli stickers on it.

If it's in good fettle and the interior is tidy, that isn't a bad price. Love the Bora more each time I see one.

 

[Spike62]

This is the very same car. The gentleman who owned it was selling this and an Aston and which ever went first he would keep the other. Really nice chap in his late sixties, early seventies. The car was in fantastic condition and received a lot of attention at the show. Surprisingly he didn't have a For Sale sign on it as he said he was in no hurry and rather it went to the right owner.

Ooh Matt, this feels like one of those pre-destined opportunities! Has to be worth a little look-see?

 

[Spike62]

If you get lucky, mention to the owner he owes me a pint!

I have had a few emails exchanged with the owner, and here are some more pics. I offered him the PX on the GS, but he is not interested. It has none standard wheels, and the history is very flaky, well, there are large gaps which we are trying to fill.

Here are some more pics showing some of the hidden areas and interior. I dont like the red piping on the carpets, but that is nit picking:

 

[Emtee]

That doesn't look too bad Matt? Lived in but not terrible.

He's had it a while hasn't he? Is the history very flaky? Would be a valid point of negotiation if there are holes.

Not sure about the bonnet as it's vented? Did the Bora have a vented bonnet or is that a donation from a Merak SS?

Any front end and profile shots available?

I take it the numbers all match?

 

[Parisien]

For all these cars......am more interested in what I can't see, rather than whats plainly visible......................pics sans mats, up on a ramp........with one of those scope thingies to look in the box sections....

Plus a big thick wad of invoices and documents......................

[Easyplan66]

doesn't look very original to me........

 

[Andyk]

It looks a very nice car..The silver roof...not seen one before. Is that standard.

 

[safrane]

Arrrgggghhhhh whats that I see through the windows....Plastic sheet over a classic cars!!!!!!! Open invite for condensation and rust...your cars got'a breath when stored even if it is not wet.

 

[conaero]

Peter, I think its one of those car bags, you know, the ventilation type, so would not worry about that.
