Rare 740 for sale.

Here's a rare 740, a 1985 GLT (don't get excited it's not a 16v) saloon, with the B230e injected engine -

Might be a good buy if you fancy a 744 in Light Green Metallic (178), a 1985 only colour.

Jon - I replied to the former ebay listing for this car, asking if it could be driven back with an MoT appointment. The reply was not at all helpful, saying it didn't run because of a starting issue - I seem to remember them saying the starter motor didn't work, but it may have been battery too.
It looks nice on the pics, but I get the feeling the owner can't be bothered to fix it yet doesn't want to scrap it.
Not easy to move even with trailer (not that I have one) if it can't start.

They had it up once or twice before, looks good on the outside but that interior is absolutely awful i thought the rare red one was the worst but now seeing that, it has a new contender.
