Date Registered: 28/11/1985
Supplying Dealer : Dealer code AE465 (Actual dealer tbc)
SONO: 987973
Status: Purchased from eBay in 2015 and currently undergoing a full restoration.
Options : TBC
Notes: Purchased from eBay in 2014. Was an unconfirmed car at the time of purchase as the seller genuinely did not know the car was a “Sport”. He originally was looking for £100 but once a few eagle eyed bidders spotted it the asking price increased. The buyer was brave in his decision but it ultimately paid off. This is one of the best remaining original cars left and is currently being restored.

Wow, I didn’t think I’d see the old girl again! I had her towed off my driveway 2 years ago after standing there for 20+ years. I should have ebayed her but was just too lazy/disorganised – so off she went for £50 (no engine). The clock read just over 50,000 miles which was genuine mileage and therefore the gearbox, at least, should be good…
The engine/carburettors etc. have stood on a pallet in my garage – haven’t inspected them for some time – must take a look… I think I might ebay it all in 2016… I’ll give prior warning.

P.S. I have a nice photo of the engine bay from when the car only had about 500 miles covered.
P.P.S. The garage salesman informed me that this car had been at “the motorshow” – she had ‘delivery’ mileage when purchased by me (only 300) and the drivers seat was a little bit grubby – from all those bums?
Thank you for reaching out. Amazing to finally connect the dots on C561 CYK and we hope that the original parts are reunited with the car.
