"basket case". Asking price is 3,500 (Irish)pounds.
Thanks in advance

Heres a bit from a search using alta vista
(http://www.altavista.digital.com)
Identifies the special version of the 2 door chassis (130) with B18B
engine, M41 transmission, fully reclining seats, front fog and driving
light,
alternator, fender mounted mirrors, special steering wheel, special
dash with shelf and other distinct equipment. Around 5000 were
produced in
1967 and 1968 only.
You'll probably find more specific stuff with a longer search.
