Looks to be about the right ballpark to me as not aware of any recent cheaper RHD s1 projects. Will cost about £80k to restore & be worth circa £150k once done.

I don't believe the odometer is true. Why are the sills replaced, or at least smothered in red oxide primer. The interior looks iffy. Non original steering wheel. Under hood frame rails don't look right for 2800 miles. Someone's either clocked it or changed the speedo. So it's not quite the barn find it is pitched as, but still, a pretty much complete car. Price seems a tad rich, compared to what's flying around eBay and similar places.

There is one born every minute . Although I cannot read the suffix of the speedo code, the 1216 tpm which is clearly visible does not come from a standard 3.07 car , so this is not likely to be the speedo from the original car
