    The auction house should be ashamed as if this had been bought by an ordinary car person this could have been a total disaster.

I also paid a four figure sum and wasn't offered any refund.

I actually think the loom had been deliberately shorted to cause the fire, the engine was totally scrap (every bearing was the worst I have ever seen) The interior had been filled with water, none of which had been shown or mentioned. It has been a heartbreaker!!

    Another beautiful motor and the 6 cylinder and soft top will be great as well.

    That will be a lovely car when finished. Can’t wait to see it. Don’t see many 125’s about either 👍
