1971 Carawagon - restored! On ebay

Post by RMS » Thu Jun 20, 2013 11:18 pm

Hi guys,

Phillip has just contacted me to point this one out:

Ebay link HERE

This is a restored 1971 Station Wagon Carawagon, Continental Ultimate - we only know of a handful of these (Patrick has one of them :gold:)

Restored in 2006/2007 on a galv chassis, genuine 50k miles, 6 pot completely overhauled, with overdrive.

Full MOT (no advisories).

Logbook proves it was originally owned by British aristocracy :tiphat:

£2k at 9 days to go, but there's no chance of it staying at that price :thud:

Guess the final price by PM to me - there may be a prize for the closest guess :whistle:
Competition closes with 2 days left on the auction, Fri 28th June at 19:29.

Cheers,
Robin.

Holiday for 2 might be a bit of a stretch, Jerry, though I suppose it could be a night in a Carawagon in my front garden :wink:

Right - competition closed - only 4 entries:

£4,650
£4,900
£9,250
£12,000

Let's see what it goes for - personally I think it will go pretty high, with a flurry of last minute bids and snipes, especially if it goes to Europe or USA.

Cheers,
Robin.

.....interesting, no bids for a week, wonder whether it will reach the reserve? Might be interesting to tune in on Sunday just before the hammer falls or will it be withdrawn?

If that's the case I am considering selling mine.

Offers over £30,000 should do it :nana:

Now at £9995 on 'carandclassics' - Respray inside and out makes it too shiney IMHO, it seems that originality and patina is the name of the game these days if you want top dollar from an enthusiast. I know who I would be offering it to though :wink:
