certainly is a minter, and I dont recall ever seeing a LHD go for that much money,
no matter what the mileage.
I remember when the 111 miler was up for sale a few years back, and could have
been purchased for less then £17k ........

I guess the theory is correct - good ones go for £20k+ if you're willing to wait.. and so on, but not matter how mint, I couldn't part with nearly £30k for that. I could get a "new" one for around that money and it'd be the same (loose argument, no need to explain to me why I shouldn't!
)
It'll eventually move one way or another.

agreed Dan, that car is also more money then 'Dusty' was, and she only
had 4 miles on the clock (or summat daft like that), when she was bought.
Also, wasnt Dusty an uber rare original RHD?

Yeah I think so Claire - when Chris found her she didn't even have her windscreen wipers fitted yet - a real rare find. I believe she has a few thousand miles under her belt now (nice to know she's in use!).
I'm a firm believer in the £15k car personally. Enough to get a goodun, and enough to know there is money to be spent to make whatever it is "my own", so to speak.

Your car is out there, you just need to track her down
