On behalf of one of my customers at the coffee bar. Their son has moved abroad and they are left to sell his prized 110. It's a "C" reg 3.5V8 with 14k (I assume round the clock). They are asking around £2k. I can get further info if required. Either reply here or via email (after unmunging the address).

my C plater has a 6-digit clock. not implying anything, merely for info. If it's a 5-digit clock then 14K is acceptable mileage. if a 6-digit, there's something odd going on, unless it's done a million miles which is relatively unlikely - mine's got a lot of miles under its wheels but it's only just over the quarter-million even so.
Or it's had a replacement speedo. I'll be contacting the seller for more info in the next day or so, and will also get pics. I might even consider swapping my '84 for it if it is appreciable better than my current vehicle (although I at least have 18 months+ of ownership satisfaction out of it) and selling mine instead.

good point. that'd explain it neatly. In that case, I'd hope that the original speedo had been kept, or at least a record of the mileage.
ISTR reading somewhere about some lot who will rebuild your speedo, and give you the option of having it back either set to zero or showing the mileage that was on it when you sent it in. Which seems sensible.
I went and had a look tonight (in the semi darkness). It has a 5 digit clock, reading 14k. It has a sound looking body/chassis (as far as I could tell in the dark) but has rot in the bulkhead. It has lift up door handles but wind up windows. Taxed and MOT'd. I've arranged to go next week (I work every day now until Sunday) with a camera, and to start it when they've charged the battery.
