If it wasn't for drugs, alcohol, and stupidity, I'd be out of work!

Then, it not the right one for you I guess.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

It's priced about right, maybe a bit high as it does have some chips on the roof.

You'd think he'd throw in free p&p for that price, wouldn't you?

It is certainly not in my budget at this time. It must be a very rare piece indeed.

I would suggest that even the most experienced RW expert would be very wary of parting with hard cash for examples of this very rare model without actually having the chance to hold the car in your hand and give it the most thorough of inspections.

I know i will probably never own a genuine example of this variant and i wont loose sleep over it. I would however cry myself to sleep for a very long time if i spent thousands on one, only to find that it was one of the many fakes that have surfaced over the years. Not for the faint hearted!!

The cream version is not only a different colour but the interior is white where in a green version it is red but the most telling part is probably the windows which don't have the windscreen wipers or rear view mirror molded in like the regular green model
