Lancia d24 evocation

[Mister Towed]

Yup, it's going to have a new life playing Cinderella in a big, heated warehouse somewhere, alongside an awful lot of other classics and period racers, so it won't be lonely.

Will be collected next week and I'll take a picture of her leaving on the trailer if I can still see through the tears in my eyes.

I just hope the new owner can find the time to take her out for some exercise occasionally.

Won't be discussing anything so vulgar as money on the forum though as I don't think that would be fair to the buyer, but I had already turned down offers of £12k, £17.5k and £18.5k from other interested parties.

Right, time to start getting the parts together for my Outlaw Speedster build.

Good luck, Paul.

Just catching up on developments on the forum and found this! As i said elsewhere, i'm sorry to hear you've sold, but i know that things move on and you've certainly had fun in the car

Having also sold my Sammio a few years back and having gone down the Triumph Special route in my advert it's good to now see you selling yours from the other angle and allowing us to put some hard evidence behind the theories that we've all had the for past few years on how to sell these cars!

I hope you're happy with how it went and i look forward to seeing your next project evolve

Thanks DC, nice to see you back on the forum. Yes, I will really miss my Spyder, it's been a fantastic ownership experience both to build and to enjoy for the four years that I've had it on the road. But, I really needed the space so I can get on with my Outlaw 356.

That partly explains the sale price - I didn't really want to part with it and I'm not desperate for the money, so I turned down some serious offers in the high £k-teens because I'd rather have kept it than accepted less than what it meant to me. After it hadn't sold by the time I got back from Goodwood last weekend I expected to be keeping it until at least next spring, but then I got a phone call...

Anyway, I will put up a final pic of my pride and joy leaving home and starting its new life with a new partner.

And... I might just also secure a picture of it in its new home when I get around to taking up the new owner's kind offer of a tour round their collection.
