I thought these are worth twice to triple this went for?
That said, imagine spending this and finding out it's a filler up bastard.

Don't like the look of that door shut for a start but looking through the description it seems to have had an uncertain background to say the least. Probably well-known to the Aston market and hence valued accordingly.....

Very much this.
Even the engine number is said to be wrong.

I suspect that you could make a few bob from breaking it and given its lack of provenance I don't imagine that they'd be a big outcry.

‘A friend’ sent this to me. Said it was similar in taste to my VW fetish…

Listing has ended, so it’s more a ‘see what you missed’. :lol:

Looks like the previous owners were disciples of Warrens ‘cars and girls’ thread, though I’m not sure they would get any driving this in any time other than the 70s. I hope the new owner checked it over with a black light first…

Maybe I've been inside too many seedy off-Square Soho "show" bars or seen too many documentaries about under-age sex trafficking but that thing actually gives me the creeps....

Love the spare wheels that come with that discrete mobile knocking shop.

An old bloke used to run around Braintree in a MkIV Zodiac with those wheels on, and it looked so cool (I was 19 then). He had Wolfrace Slotmags on it before the turbines, but looked so special on the Turbines
