teletubby 7 Posted March 29, 2015 That is just superb, I like Mark1s, but they're out of my price range, I'm afraid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dockertrigger 2 Posted June 8, 2015 After a few months of ownership and pottering around a few shows i decided to sell this today, i needed the money and i already have my Mk3 to enjoy, I put it on ebay this evening, after 1 1/2 hours i was already up to 6 bids, 118 watchers and over 700 views! Then my dad dropped the bombshell on me that he wanted to buy it as a treat to himself... So i ended up selling it to him for what i paid for it, I'm a little disappointed as i think i could have made a lot more but I'm pleased he's got it as it means I'll still be able to see it and get enjoyment from it.

I was shocked to see this on ebay yesterday and tempted to bid. I am glad your father has it as it will stay in your family, it has also taken the temptation away from me, a stunning car.

Mitch 4 Posted June 9, 2015 Your dad has great taste, lovely car and fantastic colour scheme :thumbup: Are you going to replace it with anything else? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dockertrigger 2 Posted June 9, 2015 He's helped with quite a few jobs on it and has been smitten by its charm, it's the first classic car he's owned although he had Cortinas in the 70s. Him and his partner want to starting displaying at car shows instead of just spectating at them. As for a replacement, I'm not sure yet, I've agreed to buy a Sierra for a few hundred pounds that needs a little work but my wife is pregnant so we need to start saving money, hence the sale in the first place!

63Conrad 3 Posted June 10, 2015 Cracking looking car and selling it to your dad couldn't be better, keeping it in the family means more than money :thumbup: Hopefully will see it at the nationals. Kev. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
