It's not cheap but I don't think it's expensive. The restoration must have cost between 15 and 20k alone and that's doing the majority of the work yourself. I'm £17k into my Vixen S2 restoration and I haven't even touched the interior or wiring yet let alone some of the other parts still needed like radiator etc etc. Shame he did blue interior as it will keep a few potential buyers away but on the whole looks a good car for the money.

You're right given the standard of finish but it'll be an expensive tea urn without more cooling!

But surely a heater will only dissipate engine heat if it's switched on? Or am I missing something? On hot days in traffic I guess most engines might benefit from some heat being let go through the heater matrix but most of us have the water flow well and truly throttled.

Was referring more to the narrow radiator which without heater matrix backup would cause big problems on mine. I think it's the running- in period tha they refer to in the ad which is likely to bring this out.

Looks a superb body/paint job. Interior colour not my choice but high quality trimming work. Although I would prefer the padded tunnel top - the carpet doesn't look right to me. Easy enough to refit one though.

Price - I think it's fair!

Looks great, needs more, better, pictures. Additionally pictures of the restoration. Everything looks polished but I would be interested to know how extensive the restoration was via photo evidence at this price. But the price is fair if the restoration is significantly extensive.

Rad does look small for the car - but only way to know is to driver it....

Whoever buys it will not be disappointed, I'm sure it'll be great fun to drive!
