If I hadn't already got more than one 164 I would be seriously interested in this car. I first knew of this car when in storage then being bought by the previous owner, and thought it an honest car at a very good price as compared with others which have been advertised these last few years.
I have examined a few others lately and this looks fine as an everyday, not one of the vastly overpriced auto's one normally sees. If the resto is reasonable and it is has a working manual-gearbox car then go for it! Just be prepared for non-spectacular performance and a slight thirst, but so comfortable!

Should go like a rocket what with twin SUs. Never considered one of these, I am a sucker for the looks when I see something different.

£1750 provisional. Never got to Kings Lynn so no real idea of condition or what is making it a non runner.
