I have a 1970 131 2 litre for restoration which is in totaly original condition requiring work if any one is interested. The underneath is one of the best I have ever seen on an amazon and although the car requires welding to some of the usual places and one hole in the floor could be made into a real cracker for little money. Although there will be the usual time involved to do the job. But I know my amazons and this project is definately worth doing. It's the twin brake cicuit model without overdrive. so....

LETS START THE BIDDING AND WE SHALL SEE WHAT I AM OFFERED FOR HER. PROBABLY VERY LITTLE.

Would you feel insulted if I started at £200? (I hate making offers, much rather be given-a-price-take-it-or-leave-it ) - and whereabouts in the country are you, I presume it's not driveable? Email me if you don't want to post your location in public

Hi. £200 is a good starting point. The car hasn't been started for a while and is located a few miles from where i live in Lincoln. If anyone knows anything about amazons they would know that this restoration would make a very nice one indeed. It has never been messed with.

If I get serious about selling it properly I shall get it out and put some pictures on the bourd....dean
