It will be interesting to see how far this goes . Would be great to see it in the hands of the "proper" Ford Boys being restored by father and son
in a lock up in Alperton or even Huddersfield . Better days await the Car , that's for sure
Price.......There must be The best part of £50k there surely ?

Most of the mechanical bits are possible. Find a set of bonnet vents though…
I loved my 3dr, I hope this gets rebuilt sympathetically.

Tremendous originality and provenance and a great shame about the small fire . I can help but think the fire won't have a tremendous effect on the value as its appears so localised

Yes any modern car would bounce back from this - whoever suffered the fire is lucky it was either local or they caught it quickly. I’ve had a car fire in a classic and was completely powerless, had to watch it burn…
As long as the new owner is transparent about its history then good luck to them!

I doubt if it was even subject to an Insurance Claim

Yes you could be right, that would certainly affect the value. Transparency is the key as, due to their value, any future owner will simply Google the registration and this will come up!

I keep thinking about trying to find another but, after the price and fun I had in mine in the late 90s, these days they’re just so expensive to use, maintain and insure. Maybe it’s a case of”never meet your heroes”.

If 13k miles and history to back that up, a 60k+ car . If 113k then still 50k..

Guessing it will make 35k at auction. And that should leave a bit of room over buying a decent one in the 1st place and just enjoying it.

No, and the seat covers look far too baggy for 13K miles.

I reckon it will make way more than the guide price despite that, but it really needs to be bought by someone in Essex!
