Given that my 164 looked far, far better than that, and has been under resto for ~5 years already (with steady progress)...no...it doesn't look worse than it is. Nothing does. It's *always* worse than it looks. I do quite fancy a 145 or early 245 though. cheers James

Some rusty Amazons to pass the time:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125487328658 Nice low start auction. https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1475561 Odd one this, looks half dead but Numberplate sale might finance restoration... ...if you can MOT it: https://www.gov.uk/personalised-vehi...ate-number-off "If you have a historic (classic) vehicle you’ll also need a current MOT certificate, even if your vehicle is usually exempt from MOTs." Last MOT 5 years ago. Last edited by BicycleBoy; Aug 31st, 2022 at 23:51. |

Game on 144. Was £10k, then £9k, now sensibly starting at £3.5k (with reserve). Might find it's value this time...

New Project For Othen???
Just spotted on eBay, fairly clear MOT history although it looks as though the Odo stopped at 88k in 2019 roughly.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115469723...Bk9SR9KL9affYA Might be a bit leisurely though😀 Cheers Steve |

Odd that it's originally a Surrey car but now in south Wales, remember seeing it before and i think the original supplying dealer may have been Squire Furneaux, same as mine was. That said, mine spent a long time round this neck of the woods then disappeared back down to the Watford/Rickmansworth are for 10 years and then i bought it and repatriated it up here (it had spent most of its life up here after the first few years in Surrey) but i'm a lot closer to London than Swansea is!

That said, it would be two projects in one, the car and some new jumpers every time he took it out! Joking aside though, i think he's really enjoying the GLE 2.3 he's got now, those 200cc make a huge difference, moreso than the 2.0 Cortina over the 1.6 to give a contemporary example. Also the "coffin-nose" seem to be better equipped than their predecessors so he's probably enjoying the luxury too.
