That’s something you wouldn’t stumble across every day on your walk home from the pub

 

FFS the media its a BT21, there is a dozens floating the world and being raced 80 to 100k car .

 

It's not as if it was a Mondial

 

Mondials are only rare because the owners are too embarrassed to be seen in them

 

They're the next big thing!

 

I'll make a low-ball offer then...

 

You'll sell it too soon - like the 928

 

Then the price will go up.
Best get him to sell it to me for $40k

 

Highly likely

 

"If" I was smart I'd buy one as well ......... you're the king of flipping

 

Jeez, wrecked clutch is not a nice souvenir of the event...

 

Wrecked clutch ,push start from pit exit,who uses a clutch with a Hewland mark 4/5 gearbox !

 

Someone who has NFI, ie opportunistic joyrider.
A proper thief would have brought a trailer

 

Obviously not an enthusiast then.

 

Having owned a very similar car with a twin cam, I'd suggest the thief has done something to destroy it,I can't think what as those clutches are "dropped off the line at 5,000rpm, they take a lot to destroy.

 

Ideal transport for the FQ landowner with large land holdings in FQ.

Johnny Weissmuler car .

 

Agreed.

I’ve only ever seen one in the metal in my life.

 

What whole name?

 

Poor form

An American Olympic icon who died in very sad circumstances

 

Sigh!

You obviously don’t know the joke.

Tarzan meets Jane.
Tarzan: “Me Tarzan.”
Jane: “Me Jane.”
Tarzan: “What hole name.”
Jane: “ C***.”
