and yet no bids

This looks like a real find  Although the colour isn't to my taste 

Simon - Just ask your builder to do a 4 car garage

I do like the colour. Especially for the Super. Had 2 CL's in the past with this colour.

But i am a little confused here. This is an early series 3 Super. Right? Wonderful example, that's for sure.

Great find! I am not a big fan of the Series 3 but I like this car and the colour  

I am quite sure she will find a good home

Why the confusion Mike? It's not an early Series 3 Super, more a mid- to late-production Series 3, with painted wheels and an mph calibrated speedo (although I don't know why that was needed as both my Abarth and Racing retained their kph speedos).

Rob, I would certainly bid for this car but for two things. Firstly I won't bid against a friend and I'm sure Kev is keen on this one  (he's probably been to see it already ) and secondly the bidder asks for a minimum of 10 positive bids and I only have 8 - despite being on ebay for years.

I shall watch with interest and see how the sale runs.

Simon,

I'm confused because i 'don't see any switches from the power windows. I thought all 3rd series Supers had those...

[c.a.c131]

I like this  the window switches are beside the handbrake.

[mirafioriman]

Looks like a nice example. It's LHD again though so wouldn't be what I would spend my money on.

Also it's a series 3 which as you all know isn't my favourite 131.

However it looks like a really nice example and I'm sure it will make a good price. Personally I quite like the colour and it's metallic Edit: Looking at it again it looks like it's actually a solid colour?

As always though if you are interested I'd advise going to look at it yourself to make sure it really is as rust free as claimed and it's in the condition you are looking for.

[simon131]

looks Ok to me Mike.  The two window switches and the central locking switch are located near the handbrake lever, on the centre console. None of the pics posted in the ad show this area, but the front doors don't appear to have winder handles so I'm sure it's the correct spec for a series 3 Super 

[mirafioriman]

Well it's raced up to ?2000 reserve not met.

Guesses? Will it continue to rise or stick around here for a while?

I'm guessing an end value of around ?4000.

[Rob 131]

Dave

Your estimate of ?4k I think is about right.

Simon

You'll have to send your builder to Kev as he'll need a 3 car garage if he bids for this one  .

It is the type of car that could really tempt me (if it was in the same colour as Phil's). However I really want an Orange Sport  A the right money 

[mirafiori76]

Alright Simon,

I'm not that familiar with the Super because they were not sold that many here in the Netherlands. Mostly CL.
I thought the switches were located left and richt from the gearlever. You see, i am learning still after all those years...

[mirafioriman]

I think Kev already has a four car garage

[c.a.c131]

Could it hit ?5000 or more maybe ? 

[Rob 131]

C.A.C

I'll stick with Dave's 4k Estimate
