Well congrats Lee, I think you have got that car a gigantic step nearer to being back on the road again and at record speed without sacrificing workmanship.
And let me congratulate you, and say your wife is beautiful! and that good women are hard to find. ( I should know :wink: :D)

And I would further like to add that I had no idea you were also such a handsome dude when I was trying to be helpful! honest 😮 :lol: 😃

(Oh I am such a tart)

I hope you sell the car, and can get on with your next project asap. I know you younguns, endless energy.. ! 😃

"HEY, I am NOT Volkswagen's equivalent of the Porsche 914!" :lol:

thanks anna. do i sound ugly to talk to?:lol: put a smile on my face anyway. i used to look better with long hair (kurt cobain style) but the misses wont let me grow it back "not professional for my customers".

im sure your a pretty lady also. and thanks again to every one over the past twoish years for their support.

Its really cutting me up this week, i have two people very interested in the car and last time i looked 10 watchers on flea bay.
Its finally dawned on me that the car is going, i know i'll regret it, ive regretted every car ive ever sold. but such is life.

god knows what my next project will be, im putting all my energy into the business right now, hence one of the reasons the cars going as i want more capital.

Just sell it, and follow where ever your passion takes you next! You only live once! 😃

---

Shhh, i take it you mean car wise right, you got me all paranoid. people will start talking. 😃 :wink:

---

I think we all know where your passion took you Lee. :wink:
...Ebay :oops:

I think I better qualify that...I'm sure the new addition will be well worth it.

---

haha. remember im doing this for the security of my business, if my business is making money then everything else is easy.

Well as of 19:00 hrs tonight the 49 is SOLD!!!

Whats even worse is its got to sit in my gararge for a week and a half untill its goes to its new home!!

Though i do get some relief that the chap who bought it is going to carry on where i have left it. So this little car should still end up as beautiful as id hoped. i banged on about the fact he must do it bordeaux red as its the original colour and rare on a standard! so hope he decided to do this.

I wont tell you what it sold for i'll let him tell you when he posts here, but it was pretty close to the asking price, so im happy (ish) as i can be with out a 49!

Well once again thanks to everyone for their help and friendship. I'll still be at the lavenham show. may meet up with my friend who has a kubel (the one who sold me the 49!).

thanks so much.
