Blimey, Â£36 really is nothing! Scary and sad really that it went for that little.

I paid more than that for new spacer bars, bolts, nuts & washers for the rear anti-roll bar recently!

There\'s no sense in it.... 37 quid for the silver car and yet the black hedge dweller is already up to Â£156??

I can only put this down to location, location, location! The further you have to travel with a trailer justies paying less I suppose.

The \'Hedge Dweller\' originally ended on 16th March with a sale price of Â£200.
So why is it re-listed?
I note that "a set of keys have been acquired from MAXDA" and the current advert also says "The doors are still however not yet opening" - hgh? If the keys are not from MAZDA that would explain why they don\'t open he.he.he Why? I wonder if the door seals have perished and together with tree sap have stuck fast? Why not get in through the rear hatch - easiest way to my thinking?

Is this why it has been re-listed?

If its like mine I don\'t have a lock on the rear hatch. Its a solenoid opener without a key !

Looking at the pic Shaun I\'d say there is a lock fitted BUT doesn\'t say it\'s gonna work I suppose.

OBL looks as if it could be a good buy for someone.
GTB - didn\'t that sell for about Â£150 - Â£200? A true SA spoiled in my opinion with S2/S3 bumpers and rear spoiler but still got original alloys - could always fill the body holes in and change bumpers though?
WWB Elford could use it\'s bumpers and spoiler changing so she stands out as a true Elford.
As for the RED re-storation - think I\'ve just bought its\' nose cone :rollin
If you look at the back of the red re-storation photo, isn\'t that a black SA to the left and possibly a blue rx4 to the right?

In all it looks a right Ali Baba\'s Cave here!

Off topic, but I drive past a blue fb most days in Limassol. It\'s for sale but I don\'t know how much or what condition the engine is it, also someone has clearly backed into the rear corner in a car park. Shame other than that looks a sound motor.
