Title: Coil sprung 88" series 2
Post by: baldy 1 on April 24, 2017, 05:18:54 pm
Going to look at a 1966 2a coiled series 2 on wednesday.
Taxed/tested(tax free obviously)
Owners had it 14 years.
2.25 petrol
1985 chassis

Not my cup of tea but I'm going to see it. I do have a habit of falling in love with shite at the first sight

Already have three that get minimal use.

If I'm not interested is anyone?
It's in Durham.

Any good to anyone on here?

Is the owners name Brian Witherspoon as I have done some lanes with NERO with a vehicle of that description and he was that area.
Was a very tidy vehicle and mods where done before the points system so all legit.

Don't know Doug, got there today to be told it was sold.

Wasted journey but might have been worth it.

It was in Willington beside Crook if your mate was from that area?
