Red Elf Mk1 with half cloth / halth leather seats sold on eBay ...

Hello to you all !
You may have seen this car : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270592823615&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Congratulations to the buyer ! This sounds a very nice car for a very fair price.
Exactly the type of car I'd like to buy when I have raised funds...
I was surprised it didn't sell for much...
but I was happy it didn't sell for much because that leaves me hope to find one for £3,000 - £3,500 which will be my budget

Do you think the fact it was an 850 was against it even if early Mk1s are pretty scarce ?

The car looked in reasonable condition for a MK 1 The price it went for was about right but I don't think the fact that it was an 850 made all that difference.
