I know the car you mean, JGC 240K, a 1971 1.3 SDL Bedouin coupe. I don't know the owner, although I wish I did because I want to buy it.....

Spent ages tracking down where it is after seeing a picture of it on the internet.

Any chance you could stick a note through the door for me? :wink:

Think somebody is restoring it then, last photo I saw of it the front bumper was sitting inside the car and it looked like part of a front wing was in primer. It was on the road a few years ago, I have seen a cutting of when it was last sold (from Classic Car Weekly) and it didn't look too bad. Doesn't really matter how bad it is, I want a 71 Bedouin 1.3 coupe and as far as I know this is the only one :lol: Either that or Limeflower 8-)

Did you let him know about the forum? He may get plenty of help if he comes on here :thumbup:
Or is he already here?
