Wow, He's obviously living in some weird parallel universe where unrestorable mountains of rust are the ultimate status symbol.

There are far too many wide-boys around without any credible knowledge of the cars they are selling these days.

Perhaps the add should read -
Extremely wealthy welder required, must have a vast stock of rapier fastback spares, all the time in the wold, and no sense of reality.

Broken for parts you would struggle to get £400 - £500 in that, the bits everyone wants are already past it and the bits that survive everyone's got

Not an H120. Looks later than '70 judging by wheel & dash. Could be a very late one when they fitted Rostyle's to the standard car c. late 74. Been in a field for a no. of years I would think. Still it joins Shirley Bassey & Lynne Bowles (Traffic Reporter on Radio 2) in coming from Splott!

Is not an H120 either!! Usual ebay nonsense. Surprised he didn't throw dust all over it to obscure the fire damage and advertise it as a 'barn find'!

Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').
