There was a half decent 2 door on ebay several days ago. It was a runner, 2L. starting bid $1500, BIN $2000. It lasted all in all about 36 hours LOL.
 
Do we know who purchased this bargain and what their plans are?

This the one?

I was thinking of bidding on that for the 5sp box, alternator & door cards, among other things, then selling the rest.
Like you say though, it didn't last long.
 
Here's another one from late last week that was only on ebay for 24hrs . . . a Brooklands Capri . . . listed Thursday, sold by Friday unsurprisingly.

Hope they both went to good homes!

That's the one, thanks. I had the guys number to inspect but never found the time. After seeing the pics again it's safe to assume the body was shagged. Still some good bits with it, as you said.
