kinkersaab Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Afternooon gents. A local old chap came to see mew today with his dolly 1850 manual.... he is looking to sell it, i was fancying it myself, but there is a certain GSA at the other end of britain i have my eye on and am hopefull ican get, so i have passed on the dolly thats on my doorstep ! anyhow, he is looking for £2000, and i dont think he would take an offer, he opened at £2500 and came down. I took it for a drive and it was ace! nice tight and responsive, The body was good enough to look good, but not too good you wouldn't want to use it. evidence of filler and respray work aplenty, but nothing too detracting if that makes sense, inside was nice and whole . anyhow, here are some pics, if anyone is interested in more info just ask, car is in Aberdeenshire, which is sure to be the opposite end of Britain to the man that wants it ! The Old Bloke Next Door, Ghosty, Tam and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
