second is just an estimate, and first is a project which unsurprisingly has been sitting on ebay for some months... make contact with your local club to find running cars which originate in the UK and have original registration plates!

As far as I understood it a classified ad on ebay is just that.
You should be able to contact the buyer and buy it at that price.
That said if the sods would actually sell it at that price remains to be seen, they've just paid for the ad for exposure and are taking the mickey.

The two-seater - needing what will almost certainly be a complete rebuild - is vastly overpriced. You are not buying a car, you are either paying to spend hundreds of hours (plus parts) on a do-it-yourself basis - or tripling the cost by having the major work done professionally. The Barons car does seem to be a decent buy.

Perhaps the unrestored car is overpriced because they think the registration number has a value...

Not only is the restoration project strong money, there are serious questions over its authenticity - not least the van Car Number apparently retained by original rivets...

Wasn't the restoration project (and its inconsistencies) discussed on this forum some while ago ? Unfortunately I can't find the thread.

I don't fancy the bench seat, on a right hand bend you and passenger could slide out the NS door.
