A little expensive me thinks

Looks very smart in white though.

And it looks like that's what he did.
Looking closely at the restored pictures, the sills and trailing edge of the front wings (that join the sill) look slightly out of shape maybe.

It's a pity he didn't have a blue carpaet set made up to match the originals.

It's at a Classic Car Specialist / Dealer in Doncaster. I looked at it last summer, when it was i nits original condition.I asked if it was for sale and the dealer said he'd sell it for (I think) £1600. I looked over it and had a quick test drive round this industrial estate it was on. It drove very well, was very solid and had a good interior. Some of the outer panels were pretty shabby though, and even from a distance it looked a bit scruffy. (I didn't know how cheaply he'd got it from the auction). I was kind of impressed, but not at that price.
I think he said if no-one bought it, he'd restore it and put it up for sale fully restored.

Correction.
It sold on the 5th July 2012 for £630.00.

This looks to have sold at auction a few years ago for £630.00. It looked fairly strait before the restoration (but don't they all, well sometimes anyway). Cant understand why the rear over-riders have been moved into the center section of the bumper. Also the stainless trim strip is missing from the sills. Looks a nice motor, but at £5000 + I'd be looking for a H120 in the same condition.
