FS UK RHD M635CSi #182

C136RJR has recently appeared on ebay.

Arctic blue with a Pearl Beige leather interior, although I understand it may originally have been Pacific Blue inside.
It's currently located outdoors in a graveyard on the premises of specialist Classic Heroes in Sussex UK.

I saw it there last year, and it was in a very poor state. Damp and rot everywhere. I'd consider this an extremely ambitious restoration at best, but more realistically I feel this is a donor car, worth whatever's the going rate for a non-running M88/3 and Getrag box.

Yes, I am watching the auction and had come to the same conclusion, Superman. If it was a runner it would be more interesting, but I feel the asking price is very ambitious.

Interesting to hear it is for sale by Classic Heroes - and surely if the engine could be coaxed into life, they would have done so? Or maybe they're hoping to sell it to a client who will commission them to do the restoration? No doubt it could be saved, but at what cost?

I may drive over to have a look over it..........

.................and there was I thinking I could possibly buy it for a song - but two bidders, up to £10,200 at present. No doubt it'll go higher!

Eventually made £11,659.00
