I think I counted four Z3s in their May auction. Only pictures of two so far, though.
Lots and lots of bikes next month. I can't help thinking a £10k 1970s RR Silver Shadow is not a terrible idea. Probably is.
They have a 1965 Saab 96 coming which I am going to keep an eye on. Seminal car for me as it's a two stroke! Shame it's LHD.

When I was at College one of the Lecturers had an old Saab but it had the Ford V4 that was used in the Transit and Mk.1 Consul.

Yes the V4 was a more common engine, I think they used it from about 1969.
The 2 stroke was a 900cc three cylinder with 'free-wheeling hubs' to help with fuel economy. Do around 20mpg on a motorway run if you go steady. No auto mixing, so you have to pre-mix the petrol IIRC.
Still an iconic car; rallying trail blazer.
One step up, or down, from petrol/parrafin tractors we used to work on at College.

That Topaz Blue 2.8 looks absolutely spot on. 39k mileage, estimate at £4k, got to be more than that surely.
The vendor obviously took some serious pride in it.
Anybody know the car ??
