Some background: chassis no 5027032, vehicle no 1205618. The logbook says declared manufactured 1972, then (after some years in Cyprus) it was registered in the UK December 1975. The taxation class is historic vehicle, therefore tax-free?
Because it's been stored outside the brakes seized on so we had to remove the brake shoes to move it. Also I'm not sure the engine still turns over, but the bodywork seems remarkable. It would be a lovely project for someone and perfectly feasible to get it running in time for the 50 year celebrations in France I'd have thought?
We are looking for a reasonable offer for it; all proceeds will go to the British heart Foundation (it's a long story!).
I can email you pics. Best, Elizabeth
No response from suzanne so I guess she's found her Oooh La La and I can open this up to the wider R4 world. Any one else out there interested? Forgot to say it's RHD. I can email pics. As I said, proceeds to the BHF so a win/win all round. Best, Elizabeth
