    Photos very annoying. No interior pics. The word “project” and “sweet to drive” makes me run a mile

    2 photos! What the point of that when you can stick a dozen or more up on Donedeal?

    Surely if you are looking to sell something, you try to show as much as you can?

    It was already marked as exported. I'm assuming he had a tan number. Also I should add it was sold and advertised with the paper work issue in case anyone thinks I took advantage.

    Something funny about that "Dolomite".
    Looks more like an earlier FWD 1500 to me.
    Having said that it seems to be in good condition.

    The landy could be good value if the chassis and bulkhead isnt swiss cheese. Outtiggers are common to replace, but there is usually more needed.

    30 grand on an MGB just seems ludicrous to me, but this looks lovely. Really really nice

    It's a lovely looking car but of doubtful progeny.

    If it was a real works V8 it would be worth the money but they didn't start production as early as 1969.

    Agreed. Though I think Costelloe was putting the v8 into the mgb before BL did. Dont think there were any Convertible factory V8s.

    Nice car though

    David isnt known for bargain prices - and I dont think this is a particularly clean example but the price does look reasonable for such exotica 8.32

    I'm almost certain she's been up here before. Possibly over in the "forrden" thread.

    I don’t know how he gets away with presenting stuff for sale like that. Would it have been that hard to give the dash a wipe of a wet cloth?

    I think he may need to look at the new kids on the block (Deane!) for a bit of inspo..

    A wipe of a wet cloth isn't worth an extra 10 grand.

    Ah but come on, for a supposed prestige/upmarket/well established dealer the presentation of some of his cars is pretty poor.

    Deane, while expensive, wipes the floor with most other dealers when it comes to presentation

    Picture 14, is that a fuse box on the drivers footwell?

    Deane motors really have showed the classic car sales sector how a car should be presented 99% of the time, now if they could get Ross O’ Carrol Kelly away from their social media account they’d be on a winner.

    Is Deane the lad who describes EVERY car as 'stunning' in his DoneDeal adverts?
    We should chip in and buy him a thesaurus.

    There's 2 or 3 dealers have come on to market in recent years, but especially Deane, who have artificially bumped up prices and expectations to an unrealistic level. IMHO they've contributed greatly to the "Dreamers" thread.

    I guess different target markets. Didn't Deane recently also have a 8.32 for sale? It looked top nick, but he was looking for about twice the money?

    If you want a well sorted, well presented car and you have a generous budget and having a few grand more or less in your pocket means very little to you, then by all means go to Deane. If you don't have that sort of budget for the car you want, you will have to look elsewhere

    Think we can all agree on that, he was selling bog standard (mint in fairness) Volvo 740s for €8k, fair play if he can get that for them, my own 740 is only with €3k on a good day and it wouldn’t be far off condition of his ones.
