Hi Steve(s),
The SRT in NI looks nice - I notice it the other day - having recently bought one, I still can't resist keeping a eye on the market.
Just thought you might be interested to know something of the saga of the Huddersfield (Engage Gear) SRT. I was told some weeks ago that it was sold and that the Autotrader listing was only still running because the boss was away so it hadn't been updated. But maybe that deal fell through so it's become available again.
I know this because I pursued this car originally after it failed to reach its reserve on ebay (@ £7400) and then reappeared with Engage Gear soon afterwards.
I was unable to reach a deal with Engage but in the meantime, the original ebay listing re-appeared - same pics, everything - strange, I thought! But a quick call to the seller established it wasn't a scam listing but that he had two (yes, TWO!) black SRTs with similar mileage and this new listing was for the second car but using the pics of the first one...!
This second car also failed to reach reserve (£6851 this time) so I called the seller again and we did a deal at £8400 - he wouldn't take penny less but compared to what Engage Gear were expecting for the other one, it seemed pretty good for a '56 with only 28.5k. It only needed new front tyres and the washers fixing and is fantastic.
Good luck with NI car - go for it!
