What a time to be alive! One of the other Heron 750s is back up for sale. I wish somebody would save this thing, it really could be so pretty if it was done. I don't think there is a single 750 on the road anywhere even though they were built in much greater numbers than the Europa.

I suspect the BIN is a major typo and it's £1100. Still quite strong for a pile of bits seeing as you'd need to get all the mechanical stuff as well. I believe the windscreen was a cut-down Alfa Giulietta item originally so possible to get - probably easier to get a Perspex one made though! Make me an offer for mine if you're that keen...

still on the DVLA by the skin of its teeth it looks like (and happily still on its original plate :) )  I do wonder if the "not taxed for on road use" thing is what stopped it getting archived off?

would be interesting to see a picture of the V5 if it was last issued one in 1979!

It may have had at two replacement V5s since then, issued automatically when DVLA changed the V5 format (twice)

Just noticed it was running an 1172 engine when it was built, but it has the standard A7 back end. I really, really want to find out how people were mating an 1172 engine to an A7 rear end back in the day as it seemed really common, but apparently today 'it can't be done'... Any ideas, anyone?

if that was the case then the Date of last V5 issued would be newer :) 

as a side note @barrett these recent Heron postings have have finally made me realise/figure out what "1938-ish / 1967-ish Heron Austin special (half)" was about :)

The first one you posted 'for me' was being sold because 'to big for Devon lanes' guess where I live?

I do want one before I die (so soon then) but what's with the prices of anyting American? Even stuff that to me seems as appealing as syphilis on your wedding night is £8K. Is there no such thing as a Yank with a reasonable price tag?

Now, should you talk nicely to @eddyramrod, I may* be prepared to help in the shitely of getting it down to you. May cost you a few of your excellent coffees and you'll need to talk to the ever helpful* Torbay council about parking.

I think, apart from the Lancia Aurelia, no other ordinary family car in this class had all-round independent suspension in 1950 

VW Beetle does, as cribbed from the Auto Union racers just before the war?
