I think the expected sale price was £25,000 so a bit of a bargain for someone methinks.

I was thinking that but they do state driven by Edie and not Thora, although Thora would sit behind the wheel while being towed on a low loader style thing if I’m correct.

With all the times the car ended up precariously balanced at the top of a hill, being driven through high grass, and other impossible places; it's a wonder that it still looks good.

I expect the restoration mentioned ironed out most of the problems caused by edie's driving

IF Edie i to be believed and Wesley has "moved things" then relocating the gearbox and gearstick from the boot must have cost!
