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?

Hi Andrew,
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 :lol:

Hi Andy,
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? :D

Always up for an arm wrestle :lol: though I suspect the guide price could be well beaten with the right audience attending - @ andyd - an "Arctophile"?! Im all discombobulated now! :o

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

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!

Hopefully not a "dead ringer"! :D
They're not good characteristics to have in a car.....

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!
