Hi,

Just browsing and thought this may be interesting to anyone looking for a Plus 8

Looks like the Restoring Classics spin off have had it restored and it's up for sale early Feb. The TV show always does a good job with its restorations and rarely gets its money back, so an excellent buy for someone.

The car hasn't been used at all in the last 5 years, has hardly been used that much over the last 15 years or so, so whilst it has had a recommissioning heavy service, I would get things like the electrics fully tested, although it looks like they have done some sorting of the front electrics. It's got a clean new MOT quite a clean MOT history without too many significant reasons for failures in the past.

I would get ahold of the TV episode when they originally bought it (if released) and then recommissioned it and listen to the Matheson's assessment of it then and what faults were found subsequently and check out what they found and did. I personally wouldn't buy a car at. auction without first seeing it. It might also be worth talking to Melvyn at Rutters and get their assessment of the car.
