This is a posh HLS, yet it has a single carb. My A-plate Ambassador was bottom of the range but twin carb.
BL really were all over the place sometimes.

Probably  depended on how many carburettors they had in stock.

Tempted to take a gamble on this Bongo at Copart. Category S due to what appears to be minor front end damage. Currently at £300 with 45 minutes to go.

I assume you have factored in Copart's somewhat extortionate fees.  I've bought a few cars from them but you do need to look at the total price rather than the hammer price (you probably know this already!).

Oh that's a real shame. Imported from Switzerland in the 90s and with the same owner ever since. Here it is spotted a few months ago at its North London home (not by me)

If it's going to be broken there are lots of bits I'd like for mine (wheels, bumpers) but it does seem that once something goes on Copart is just disappears forever

I've noticed that. Weird. You'd think they were being bought from Copart to repair or break, but you rarely seem to see any sign of them again.

 

I guess the parts gradually find their way back out into the wild from breakers or maybe some go to specialists/restorers who strip them for parts that go into a warehouse waiting for the right car.

Moral of the story is: don't get your car restored by Kienle if you want to maintain AS standards*

my Saab 9-5 was sold though there 2 years ago and just disappeared. Its shown as untaxed on DVLA , and last V5 issue date was when I moved house. Its not shown as scrapped or exported when Carbaba used to show that stuff for free.  A real mystery
