Could this be the 1300GT that Paul has spent forever looking for - It looks a honest enough ad but I don't like the look of that OSF door & gapping - it could be the light / angle that the pic has been taken at - low miles at 45k - sounds like it may need a clutch / adjustment and the vendor states that the underside welding repairs could be neater - also states that the colour is non standard - I thought that the GT was only made available in BLMC Glacier White - Anyhow the vendor is still marking it up at top money £10,750 ONO

Sure the one i had many moons ago was a pale custardy colour , which i believe was factory.

1971 Austin 1300 GT - For restoration - all there and yes we know its very rare but it requires much time & expense to be thrown at it before this will see the road again - Speculative dealer asking £6,995 is nothing short of criminal pricing

1970 Riley Kestrel Mk2 - 4 door manual - one of the rarer ADO 16 variants - 43,000 - looks cleanish & solid - distinctive registration number and in a rare colour - looks like it would benefit from some paint but would make for a very nice car upon completion - £5,350 ono

1972 Austin 1300 Mk3 - Manual 53,000 miles - Much rarer 2 door variant - Appears pretty straight but with dings in both bumpers - Cheap at £2,795 with plenty of margin to clean this up and add value to it - Don't be surprised if a dealer hasn't already snapped this one up and if so don't be surprised if it reappears back on the market shortly at twice the current asking price

1969 Austin 1100 Mk11 - Manual - 19,600 miles from new - virtually mint - Priced at £5,000 - very much a bargain at this money - don't surprised if a dealer doesn't have this away and reprices it with a hefty margin

Well I did say!

If the dealer paid the vendors asking price of £5k - but it's now on their forecourt with a £4k margin
