For that cash you'd think they would have changed the dash top. Laughing

Fair do's though, what a minter.
They'll only get dearer too, I think!
I'm guessing that'll be SP, as he'd mention it if it was TP.
Still nice though.

Strange the seller doesn't mention if it's a twin-throttle Vitesse.
It's a 1986 registration, so could be.

Irritating that the 8 grand restoration has included fitting of
spats, which simply look odd when the sills are body colour
(look at the side-on view). I'd expect door cards to be better
nick for 7k too Shocked

Properly recently restored 50K car vs unrestored seldom used 50K car, I'll take the former plaese, the latter will be nothing but trouble low millage is the last thing you want on a classic, you should see my genuine 59K '76! (I have now aquired nearly all I need for it, waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer)
