That number plate and anthracite black really do suit it so well. I know what you mean about scrabbling for gears in the manual when getting a shift on. You kind of have to brace as the acceleration pins you back on these, then throw your body weight to get it in gear. The old Getrag box is notchy and has that long throw as you mention. Glorious things! :D It ought to go to a specialist auction when we can all get out more again. No-one has been able to see it for ages!

I’ve never driven it but have had a very scary ride in it - thankfully he knows the single track roads around his place well. There are a couple of cars like this that he lets go to people that he trusts will return them to him when they’re done with them. Hence the prices - just treat them as a deposit! His barns are now full of interesting cars - he’s well into Maseratis as well now, and has a proper nice Bitter SC. His connections with JDHT allow him to ‘borrow’ the XJ40 coupe and X300 convertible (Audi A4 hood apparently). I think he has an Enzo Ferrari thing going on where you have to be invited to buy certain cars despite being on general sale, and probably kneel down to sign the paperwork. That doubtlessly annoys a few people outside ‘the inner circle’ but to be honest he just worships the cars and is a genuinely nice generous bloke who lives and breathes for cars.

If I was nearer to London this would be a buy

Beautiful 2.0 auto VP Montego in Ireland, £3500

Would I be mad to replace my 16/60 auto with it? I am very tempted

Yes. Yes you would, your Wolseley looks lovely. But why not have both? That would be a very sensible thing to to do.

1983 (Y) FORD SIERRA 2.3 V6 GHIA BARN FIND - ON SALE FROM 99P NO RESERVE

z.thumb.jpg.c600da9a64df8ab1856731f670d97b03.jpg

"The car was originally automatic but the previous owner bought it with a faulty gearbox in 2003 and converted it to manual using donor parts from an XR4i"

Fun fact: 2.3 Sierras all came with an auto box as standard, you could specify a manual gearbox but the price was the same.

Current bid: £335
