Anyone know how to delete this for sale listing? I am going to list the car on BAT and they want exclusivity. When I click on edit, there is no option I can see to delete it.

Thanks,
Tom

Don’t know if you can delete it, but you should be able to change the thread title to something like “No longer available”

sold for $36,750
nothing to sneeze at....

[tbsmith]

Actually somewhat more since BAT made up the difference between the high bid and my reserve.

Congrats Tom

Do you have the original engine number for the register? Should be engraved on the vin plate under the hood.

[tbsmith]

Looks like W/25824. The numbers are clear, not sure about the letter.

The W is correct, many thanks & please put the new owner in touch with me for the register via e-mail (pph <at> lionheartsolutions <dot> com)

Hello all,

What are the chances - probably pissing in the wind of course - that this originated in England and it was red with registration LGW11K, exported bac in 2010??
