I had a 1971 Aston Martin DBS A proper barn find, not moved for 14 years. One of 247 cars in this guise It should of had a V8 but this had a DB6 engine and an auto box, Aston Martin using things up. 36,000 miles, all original. A mate rebuilt the brakes and fuel system, started first time. I drove it once, it was the worst car I'd driven, slow, bad handling, all the wrong bits in the wrong car. I paid £3,750.00 for it and it cost just over £2,000 to get it running. I put it in the sale at Newport Pagnell, fetched £20,500.00, happy days, tripled my money. This was 15 years ago, it would fetch north of £300,000.00 today. What a twat.
I was walking the dogs this evening and one of these drove past. Fantastic car but only if you don’t mind looking like a full time wanker. Track only IMHO. BAC Mono
To be honest it would have been a 15yr quandary as well! You have to maintain it even if you don't drive it, insure it, house it and the worry about;Do I sell it now? Should I keep it for the kids inheritance? What if there's a fire, theft.... You may have already had 100K worth of better lifestyle!... Anyway, there is a thread for the one that got away!
I think 70/80s TVR Possibly Griffith with the round MkI Cortina rear lights. But probably wrong Nasher.
a trawl through the net would find it eventually. I can tell you it's not a Kallista or a Lima but shares similar front suspension/crossmember (cortina Mk 3/4 taunus era).
