I must admit that I got a little bit excited when I came across this...

A Black RHD Sport! Regretfully it has been modified beyond my own particular taste and looks as if it might be a significant rust victim.

Interesting rear spoiler though - yet another variation and not all that bad looking compared with some out there..!

It is amazing how these rare cars keep appearing! Looks like a good project and I actually like the cars appearance (except the rear spoiler). I think when looked at closely though it will need quite a bit of work.

I wonder if someone on here will buy it and we will see it's progress?

My heart skipped a beat too when I saw it, especially as it is black, but unfortunately I too believe that it has some serious rot. Never seen rust quite like that in the top of the inner wing before without substantial rot in most of the other usual places too

Shame - but I'm sure it will still make good money. I hope that the new buyer is a member of our "131 community" and gets it roadworthy again.

Good luck to the seller

Have seen worse on the road but as mirafioriman has said about all these rare cars appearing does this mean they are nolonger rare now

At the moment the current bid is 1200.00UK Sterling and in my opinion that is enough for it.It will cost in my opinion 10,000euro to do a complete and proper restoration on that car.The rusty areas that are shown is what can be seen,so what about the areas that can't be seen .I think Sid's or Seamus's route is the way to go ::)Eugene 

[mirafioriman]

It has only had the one bid so far, so no competition as yet. I am pretty sure it will make much more. Should be interesting to see exactly how much.... Shall we all start guessing? I reckon about ?3500.

Yeah that would be about right? is that all that is done in the Uk to fix a car, weld over rust & isopon over the welds & then shutz?
i have seen lots of "mint"  Uk motors "restored" that way?

If anyone on this forum buys the car and wants to sell the rear spoiler ill buy it (100 Quid waiting).
Or does anyone know where to get another one like that?
It looks like it was made for the car.

The spoiler looks like a Merc 190 E job...

[cinqabarth]

I recon this is a right rotter! wouldnt fancy taking them side skirts off! Imagin whats under there!

[parrish]

190E spoilers are a little shorter!
Unless you can find me a taller one?
