They are very rare cars in the UK - lots of interchangeable parts between other Saab models and the late cars were fitted with the ford V4 engine - nice examples here are £15k +

1965 Jaguar 3.4 Manual - Complete project - very sound basis for restoration with some work already completed - comes with some parts too & a running engine - great investment but a complex project - well sorted on the road examples now demand very strong money - this one is not for the faint hearted but its very cheap for what it is along with the potential that it holds - asking price of £4,750 is next to breaking money for one of these

1973 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce - Complete car for restoration - Much potential and its very cheap at this money £2,000 - Although it requires a lot more than (has the vendor states) 'Just putting back together'

1955 Fuldamobil NWF200 project for restoration - all alloy body- largely complete but some smaller parts missing - not a really come & buy me price either at £6,400 and its a shame that the vendor probably does not understand the amount of work required to get this restored & running then price it accordingly - None the less a fairly rare talking point

Wonder what the other two cars are. Rusty one is a 2 door 40 ford, and the other is, I think a 36ford 2door hump back

Ok I might be biased. However this could make a nice project for someone with the right skills and patience (parts can be a little scarce over here!). It looks relatively complete and with these cars now going for anything between £15k and £25k there's potential in it too.

Am tempting you lot to stop me from buying it!

1958 Triumph TR3A - Lots of work to do here but it comes with most of the repair panels required - The vast majority of parts are now available through specialist marque suppliers too - A well restored TR3 is now £25 - £30k so its a worthwhile project especially if you convert it to RHD (half of the conversion parts are already included) - Vendor is asking £5k

I've sent in a bid - more as to the vision if it gets accepted!

On croise les doigts

Will confirm!
