Subject: Re: LR 153 for sale at Brightwells in July I agree, it will be very interesting to see what it makes, to confirm or otherwise if 108 was on trend from 129 or an outlier. I'd suppose the reserve would be £110-120k? |

Subject: Re: LR 153 for sale at Brightwells in July Re-entered at Brightwell's on 24th September, and it looks impressive and a credit to the current owner. Minor niggle, wheel embellishers missing, aside from that the Dubonnet looks great. I note, not showing up on the catalogue yet, give it a day or two.. |

Subject: Re: LR 153 for sale at Brightwells in July The car is now appearing on the auction web-site with a large number of recent pictures. Richard looks to have really brought this car back up to an excellent standard, and a lot of work has been done http://classiccars.brightwells.com/viewdetails.php?id=4729 I am pleased that he has simply had the interior restored and kept the original ivory-white finish and the car is still on its correct Solex carbs. The car unusually with heavily restored and re-chromed original bumpers; makes a change from stainless steel Could never work out why the owner didn't sort out local storage for the car in London, so he could enjoy it more ? I hope to see the car in person and take more pictures for myself and Gilbert. |
