Very rare, Nezih. Not a great success. Made of fibre-glass!
Best wishes,

Andrew

Have you seen the price of fully restored ones. OUCH. I always loved this car but the nearest I got to one was a 1969 (G reg) V8 250 saloon. With hind sight I wish I'd kept it as they cost a small fortune as well now. Engine designed by Edward Turner the same man that invented the Triumph motorcycle vertical twin. Just a little bit of history.
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Thanks for this, Vic. I know little about these except for the fact that in the late sixties my woodwork master had a ratty old one!
Best wishes,

Andrew

You can see one weekly on Antiques Roadshow - can't remember if it's the opening or closing scenes. Didn't the police have a few?

Paul. Opening. It is a red one with a painting in it.
