I think it might be a car alarm, there were some 1980s aftermarket alarms that had external keyholes.

Now that's interesting- never thought of that.

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

Had I not bought a 66 Minor convertible last week it would probably be mine already. It’s always the case, you make one carefully considered and rare addition to the fleet, and something all the more appealing rears its alluring head within days! What luck.

It was very popular for a while. More sophisticated than a hidden rotor arm or cut-off switch, supposedly.

This has been knocking around for a while. I think it was up for 10 before. Could be wrong.

Yes I think I’ve seen that Sherpa before. Doing the rounds of the usual classic dealers.

"For Sale, the most famous Maestro on Facebook!!!

Awesome fun car to drive, really pisses off the purists, totally different to anything else of the road, perfect classic to use as a daily.

I don't mind modification as much as I used to, but when you're saying that pissing off purists is a selling point I am afraid we have some work to do before we can be friends

I really like how it looks to be honest, compared to how a lot of other cars are modified it really doesn't seem that over the top to me.

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.

I was high bidder but didn't make reserve. Shame, I've always wanted one

Drop him a line. Could only be a couple of hundred away or he'll be happy to let it go if you're straight up with him and quick to pay and collect.
