      Yes now double the price, originally sold for £750 according to the prior advert, but will it get past DVLA?

      Interesting that it has the 'YKC' rounded dash moulding. (edit: Facebook advert says 'Purchased from YKC in 1994')

      I'm sort of looking for something like this as a project but not if it's hassle on the registration side!

          Not immediately self evident in the few photos, but the O series has a corrosion/oxidisation problem around the Thermostat housings, especially if not dry stored. Replacements are a bit of an O series holy grail.
