I'm going to guess a minimum reserve of ?8000!!  :)

Here is the picture..... 'You' have bought this car. Here is the question...... What would you do with it? Be interesting to hear opinions.

If it was mine, I would be terrified to use it as i would want to preserve it. But would this be right as its meant to be enjoyed? So many opinions..... whats yours?

Always a good debate Paul.  :)

I'm definetly in the "use it" category. I've no interest in saving it just for someone else to enjoy...although I would take exceptional care of it while I'm at it.  ;)

Like everything in life it depends on how keen someone is to get their hands on what is a truely wonderful and rare X19.

I would suggest that the end figure could be into ? 5 Digits between 11-12k

It's surely a wonderful example. Personally i prefer the early 70's model. I like the chrome bumpers instead of these huge beams... ;)

This car was sold a few weeks ago on pistonheads for around ?5,000. See link below:

Looks like someone's out to try and make a quick profit  ;)

Will be interesting to see if they make a profit or not. I might be wrong but I think the seller makes his living by buying nice cars, detailing them and preparing them to a high standard and selling them on for a profit.
