A7 special for sale in France

Searching for something interesting, I've just come across this little beauty: https://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/961749843.htm?ca=18_s

Not exactly a snip at 26 000 € and its Reliant engine seems a little strange with the Lotus paint job! Still a pretty looking Cambridge though.

Re: A7 special for sale in France

I haven't looked at the advert but 26000 Euros for a Reliant engined special sounds like 16000 Euros too much. Putting a decent Austin 7 engine back in will cost a further 4000 Euros if you do the build yourself, making a total of 30000 Euros!
There is a very nice TT Ulster Replica for sale for much less than that.

Should be no problem for a man of your means, Malcolm.

Re: A7 special for sale in France

Alan. You've missed one very important point. Malcolm is a Yorkshireman!

Re: A7 special for sale in France

A Yorkshireman is merely a Scot with the generosity squeezed out of him.
I don't mind the begging letters because sometimes I can reuse the postage stamps!

Re: A7 special for sale in France

Malcolm - it reminds me of the Yorkshireman who rushed home to tell his wife they'd won the lottery. Her first reaction - "all that money, what will we do about all the begging letters?". He replied "keep writing them". (This from someone with one grandfather from your area, the other from Ireland, so your turn!) Cheers, Bill in Oz

I'm sure that was on ebay a little while back for less that half that!
