£350 now.
Looks like the genuine article and worth it if the mileage is accurate.
4 speed non-overdrive box is normal for a GLS (mine was the same).
Probably an early one (1972) as it has a glass bowl on the petrol pump.
Engine number would date it but I can't read it.
Head, cam, manifold and head and are worth it on their own.
If lucky it could be on the road with a set of gaskets and a good clean.
I don't need it and won't be bidding

Could be tempted Mike although I suspect the price could climb a bit yet. Seems a good opportunity but I should probably concentrate my efforts and funds into other things!

hey guys
well thats just pretty bad timing.
this time last year i could have only drempt for such a find.
And my engine really is spot on - would really love to get it for a spare though, but what with the wedding this year i dont think ill be getting away with such a cost.
i will watch it though

Not going to be finished in time for shepton unfortunately but I know it'll be worth the wait.
Some good stuff on eBay at the moment, I'm thinking a few of us should group together and buy the bodyshell, holbay engine and build the ultimate fastback!!

The bodyshell is not far from me. Is too bad he didn't sell it when I was looking. Would have been a steal. Mind you.... we don't know what his reserve is but it certainly looks as though someone's gonna get a bargain. As for me..... I must not buy any more cars..... I must not buy any more cars..... I must not buy any more cars.... I must not buy any more cars.....

That,s a shame jason . will you still go just to have a look round the stalls. And dose that mean there could be a space for another f/b. as
i would,nt mind taken mine up, but if it is filled then not a problem.
Yes that sounds good with that shell but who gets to choose the colour
that would be interesting....
I have a photo to put on here ... a picture of me sat on the bonnet of my very first f/b which i bought from my brother about 1980,ish.
wish i still had it now, it was a 1971 on J. plate.
only 9 years old at the time probably the newest car i had bought. |

I will still be there as I have to help with the organising anyway.
The stand should be filled with Martins fastback plus a series car but if anything changes I'll let you know for sure.
I think you're right about the colour, perhaps we'd have to have a panel each!!
I think I saw that old photo of yours but you should get a copy on here.

For anyone that hasnt seen - ebay is pretty loaded at the moment with all sorts and thats with only a general 'sunbeam rapier' search.
Happy baying
Also any recommendations as to where to go for a custom stainless steel exhaust - must be a good one
bare in mind i live in Cornwall
cheers

Longlife exhausts are normally at the show that you are coming to, there is also a firm near here that makes them, I could pop in there and see what they say??
I presume you need the system from the manifold?
There is another firm that used to advertise on ebay, i'll try find contact details.
