Lovely, but even the starting price is too much for a car with very limited appeal. The beauty of rare cars is they come at bargain prices!

when you have seen them a few times before, you also have to ask is it now a scam advert.
Has it got fresh photos which haven't been seen before, they would indicate it is genuine.
All the same photos tends to make me think scam.

It's the same person that has advertised it before...I think it's quite a lower price than it was before so maybe it just didn't sell?

Looks like it may, originally, have been green.
If I was the seller - and considering it is incomplete - I would be happy with anything over 1K. |

When restored I think this would make a superb looking prewar motor. I like the sleek body lines and the sporty look on a small car.
But...it would take an awful lot to restore this car properly.

Well, I think it's got some style. Quite pleasing to the eye.

Pre war (and probably pre 60's) prices have declined quite a lot over the last year or so.
One would need deep pockets to restore this one, and it would have to be for love not money! |

Like I said I recall it being for sale before, I can't quite remember what they wanted for it but am pretty sure it was more than its on for now.

That's about where I was, price wise when I saw it.
