stuart Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Interesting, I wonder why they have changed their minds. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Probably on condition you have the car rebuilt by themselves for a preagreed figure, gives them a profit and guaranteed workshop hours which keeps the workshop viable ? Have they sold the Dark blue rebuild with cream upholstery and TR4 chassis and steering yet ? I rather think they wished they'd taken the $100k it reached but not their reserve now.

stuart Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Doesnt appear on their inventory list so maybe they have sold it. The wrong chassis is what crabbed the sale of it. They dont do their own panel work as it goes out to another shop nearby so maybe they are after the build. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
