For those who, like me, are still looking for that offer we can't refuse?

And there is this one http://www.prewarcar.com/index.php?option=com_caradvert&view=ad&section_id=1&id=173898&Itemid=432

Which is so cheap it must be a scam or have a very difficult problem! Or perhaps the owner is in a desperate hurry for cash.

They call it a 4.5L, but looks like a 3 / 4.5L to me.

The 1953 Monte Carlo R Type is also on the prewarcar.com link, with loads of useless history.

I assume that is the same car. I know there was a post on the VSCC site that linked them, but I am not sure on what basis. It certainly looks the same. It is a bit strange. It has a 4.5 litre chassis numberr. The first picture on VintageBentleys shows the reinforcing that the 4.5 litre chassis had but the 3 litre didn't. But it has a 3 litre radiator and bonnet. It used to have a 3 litre engine, but now a 4.5.

Clare Hay says that John Hunt rebuilt it as an Old Mother Gun replica. So that should be a 4.5.

I will be at Wroxton today and will see if anyone knows about it.
