Note the difference in price between an unmolested, unrestored, in the rough carrier like we saw last week (went for $23,000) and a highly modified running machine like this, which does not command anywhere near the same price.

Default auction
Has now finished but it didn't attract a bid. It did however have 2 offers.
Pity it was so far away. A great looking ride I reckon.
