Hi Andy,
Maybe.....could be totally innocent though. The relisting doesn't seem to have put off the bidders.

Hi Andy,
Still a day to go. I wouldn't be surprised if it made a few thousand more.
It seems someone out there agrees with me that a Tickford is worth having! :)

Hi,
We're into the final 12 hours of the auction now. It's been bid up to the sort of price I thought it would be.
Sadly, you can tell from the additions to the listing that the seller has been dealing with a lot of timewasters. That's Ebay for you, I suppose.

Hi All,
£29,100. Not a bad result for the seller, I hope that the sale goes without a hitch.
I've just got this feeling we'll be seeing it readvertised due to timewaster. I do hope not...

All the best,
Andrew.

That just about sums it up.
I would own one if I had unlimited funds and garage space. Not a silver one though...

There’s this one as well, also by one of the vendors;

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/tickford-tur ... Sw53hbt2RK

Looks like mineral blue, very much like the one, once owned by the guy who answers the technical questions, in the CCI magazine- that too was C reg 6 digit plate!

If I had unlimited funds I’d restore this one because of the unique colour.

Hi,
Yes I saw that one for sale the other day but forgot to mention it!
It's sad to see such a rare car fall into disrepair like this.
Is that another Tickford in the background of the photo, making 3 in total here?
