I can't help wondering how it's managed 33,000 miles whilst having 'spent all of it's life inside within a classic car collection'.
So the original buyer bought it new to put in a collection but somehow drove it 33,000 miles? It's in amazing condition, but the history doesn't make sense.
We know about those cars bought new and then packed away (under 10,000 miles?). We know about those cars that are incredibly well looked after by their first owner (this one?). But spending 'all of it's life inside within a classic car collection' (not 'always garaged', not 'spent all of its life in a classic car collection)and clocking up 33k? A 10,000 mile one year old everyday, popular car isn't a classic - why would it be in a collection? When and how did it clock up those miles? Was it a 'delivery miles only' car (perhaps justifying its place in a collection) for twenty years and then the owner started using it before tucking it away again?
I believe the car is as good as it looks, and that it's a great buy...but the story behind it doesn't quite add up...not in a the-seller-is-a-liar way, more in a this-information-has-something-missing way!

He's got a Rekord too! Maybe I'm overthinking this...if the seller had put 'part of a car collection' rather than 'classic car collection' (which it wouldn't have been straight away - as for a little, while at least they would have been just the same as other new cars) it would make more sense. Edit: This is all coming across as too negative! I'd love to know the story of these cars, that's all!

You'd be a bit of a sad sack to have a classic car collection and not drive them ever though? ;D

Not seen one for years..... Thank goodness! A mates girlie girlfriend had one in the eighties, she bought it as it had a sunroof... That leaked! Hg blew and we replaced it, it never went again! Even the local garage with 4 mechanics could not get it to go. What a pile of cXxp! Sort of good to see a tidy one though .
