Re: That itch needs a scratch!
Hi,
It is a stunning car, enhanced by the colour combination, in my opinion. I like it!
Is that a facelift bonnet though? In the front-on photo, there appears to be a yawning gap between the headlights and the front edge of the bonnet.
And what's the deal with the bear?

I personally wouldn't have to try too hard to buy this car if the Teddy Bear was included, as the Mrs is an 'Arctophile' (a person who is very fond of and is usually a collector of teddy bears.).......Hundreds of the bloody things around the house

In that case, if it's a particularly sought-after bear, Mrs andyd may even positively encourage you to buy the car in order to obtain the bear!
Or is that asking too much?

It's a stunner this one, think anyone would be happy to own it. Go on Paul, you know you want to..............
Re: That itch needs a scratch!
In that case there could be an Arm Wrestle with Pauld over this particular vehicle.......Andrew 2.8i wrote:Hi Andy,andyd wrote:I personally wouldn't have to try too hard to buy this car if the Teddy Bear was included, as the Mrs is an 'Arctophile' (a person who is very fond of and is usually a collector of teddy bears.).......Hundreds of the bloody things around the house

Re: That itch needs a scratch!
Always up for an arm wrestle though I suspect the guide price could be well beaten with the right audience attending - @ andyd - an "Arctophile"?!

Would definitely love to get that in the garage - looks like I need to do some serious persuasion with her indoors! maybe a new set of oven gloves and a trowel may do it!

You'd think so but someone close by disagrees so far!

Hi,
Who knew that John Culshaw had a collection of old Fords?

Re: That itch needs a scratch!
The silver laser looked like a good buy, the mk2 Ghia has no result which was the one I liked the most.
I had a Practical Classics magazine that had feature with John Culshaw and his bronze Cortina and Granada...wonder what he'll be getting next!

Re: That itch needs a scratch!
Hi All,
I like the Jaguar E-type that sold for £71,950. The description states that the car was "purchased by the 82 year old vendor in 1984 in a package deal with an Aston Martin DB4 for the princely sum of £6,000." Quite a shrewd investment!
