i think it could be the sentiment of it being passed down the family perhaps ?
good luck with the sale

Harry's rite on top of it.
It has been sitting in the shed for around 2 years now with nothing changed. Dad is selling the house in a couple of months and needs to get rid of it. so he offered it to me.

we have stripped the whole thing back and are goin to be rebuilding the motor and restoring the interior

Know what you mean. I've got an old ford station wagon that's been in the family for ever, and I'll cry the day it don't go no more

Good luck with the sale, I've seen this car in the flesh, it's nice

That's cool man, sorry to hear your not going to be able to enjoy it.

This car is one of a kind and took a lot of time and care to build using exclusive parts that can't be replicated.

bilbojo · Post by **bilbojo** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 8:12 am

Any offers????

nicholas · Post by **nicholas** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:43 am

Unfortunately you'll start to see, you can't really just sell these cars so easy, which is a real shame.

Suggest that you advertise in lots of different places; other car forums (323 club, other cars like that where people would wanna upgrade to an FTO), all of the car websites and trading post, consider putting it on a main rd for a day with for sale signs (though I wouldn't leave it there overnight!)

Good luck mate!

That's great advice.

Just have to be patient and it will sell as it is a beautiful car in great condition.

I miss it but just didn't have the room to keep it........or a driveway that was lowered car friendly.
