SUMMARY
A Saintly proposition, a partially completed project in need of fresh impetus. To be sold with 'No Reserve'.
DESCRIPTION
- For those of us with a memory long enough to remember The Saint, the P1800 remains a cherished car in our history
- This car, acquired by our vendor around seven years ago, has unfortunately beaten him
- Storage issues and time availability mean that this partially finished project now comes to the market ready for somebody else to write its next chapter
- The engine and gearbox are out of the car and an amount of work to the bodyshell has been carried out already
- This appears to be a solid proposition but we would suggest interested parties view the car themselves and form an opinion as to how much work remains
