It could be pure coincidence, but the link below is wrongly identified as a 1965 Vogue with pretty much the same mileage as the car in question. It also has a tiny red sticker on the front offside quarter light (window) . DVLA vehicle enquiry shows the linked car to be 1962 and maroon. The vehicle in question has a maroon engine bay. It did not sell for much on 1st March (£1700). Same car? (Now sold again?) https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/no-reserve-1962-singer-vogue-series-i-8bEQJ4 Edited March 19, 2023 by RayMK Car sold.

I think the market for this is a scumbag mechanic who would fit it but charge for a brand new part or a knobhead who knows of a suitable car for sale cheap with the clutch gone and puts this in to flip it Either way, no good comes from a £10 clutch lesapandre and RoverFolkUs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDaily Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 This looks a bargain. 75 diesel tourer with long MOT for £750 BIN.I think these are probably one of the best bargains you can get atm. If the sills aren't rotten and the clutch isn't bad then they're remarkably reliable and not a bad drive. If mine was an auto then I think I'd still have it.
