This car with KDF reg number will have originally been sold by Steeles Garage of Cirencester, Glostershire. The site is now a Department Store.

This is one of them that gets sold every six months or so and never moves - it is still with it's original E bay seller of 18 / 24 months ago - the problem is that the vast majority of people do not know the extent of time or money that it takes to get a Javelin restored - they just see it has another so called barn find and attempt to sell it on the back of the barn find craze by overpricing them - there are some pretty naive people out there who will purchase such things just based on a vendors poor description & a few images along with the fact they value the transferable number plate far in excess of what the vehicle is worth in the first place - the world is bonkers - but I see the bottom slowly falling out the barn find market and maybe just maybe the naive will open their eyes a little wider - the car is not worth a bean over £700 - good registration number or not !
