It brings the ad up on search results for all those vehicles in the title, increasing the potential viewing/buying pool of people who realise the vendor is an intergalactic ballsack, apparently.

Hearing aid beige Rialto, a bit salty but quite a bit of work has been done.

I went about a year ago. It’s well worth a visit

Unless bubble cars are not your thing.  I went, whilst camping with Autoshite. It was erm not that interesting to me. Like going to a boat museum.  Now, if they allowed you to drive them, like those Ferrari experience days, that would be of interest.

Yes. Lovely. I'm afraid it will get broken for it's Aston Martin engine by some philistine who will put it in some absurd AM recreation or lash-up and then ask £200,000.

Sadly you're right I reckon. There's one of those languishing on a driveway outside Harlow with its nose in the air which makes me think a similar fate has befallen it.

If it happens and they don't ruin the rest of it - a just acceptable replacement wd be an XK engine...but I expect they will take rear axle, instruments, steering box etc etc for some 'recreation'. The other alternative is to buy it to save it. The estimate, however, seems low. Ho hum.

But with DB2 cars now commanding this mega-money I fear the temptation will be too great to cut it up. Anyone with a few bits and an original log book from some long vanished car could have a go.

I don’t know about that. Possibly, but the survival rate of AML vehicles is well over 90% - which is staggering. I would wager that ends up getting fully restored.

A restored Aston Martin would want to keep the original engine. Matching numbers makes a big difference to a vehicles value. 

There is a chance though that it could be tuned as used as the daily engine with the original kept to go in when sold.

If anyone buys this I'll 'test' it for them outside my Polish bird neighbour's window.

Here's one of those snazzy Neo Nazi Panty Liner coaches

Unfortunately it has no seats, though.

£2500 isn't bad, assuming you don't break that top front screen which will cost enough to make Rishi Sumak wince.

Image may contain: sky and outdoor, text that says "CCT"

Had one of those and that does look like a genuine jap built camper. Mileage is probably Kms and the head gasket can be done insitu but is a bit of a ***t to do due to the engine location and access. Gearboxes are easy to get out when they go tits, guess how I know. 

Mrs BMH said buy it, getting her another beer then she's off to bed before she remembers tomorrow morning anything about it.

Good to have a missus that encourages you to buy shite though...

Only when she's had a few beers (or wines actually). Usually it's wtf...
