The new owner posted on the FB group this morning. Certainly looks stunning.Just saw that it sold for £19250 plus commission. Seems reasonable to me considering what a lot/most rubber bumper models are being offered for. Yes, it’s been said it needs things done to it, but then 99% of the cars out there will also need things doing.

The chrome bumpers, especially the front one with the lower grille surrounds helps to define the whole style of the car - the body lines just flow perfectly from front to rear.Just looking at the above picture the chrome bumper cars are soo elegant. The rubber bumper cars carried off the safety aspect design change very well, and looked nice and modern with it. But now the 68-72 cars to me just look lovely. Perhaps it’s the chrome.
I couldn't afford it at that price.James, I think you may have missed a good opportunity to buy a chrome bumper C3 at a reasonable price, enjoy it for what it is, and improve it at a later date.
Thanks it's ok I got to ride in it. I'm sure a rubber bumper will be fine but they're missing the chrome gills.sorry to hear that James. I know your very much into the chrome bumper era C3’s, but I personally think you may have to consider later models, rubber bumper scalloped rear end 1974/77 or glass back window variants 78/82 depending on what front end you like. Keep looking, you’re get there in the end.
I thought that was 74?Maybe a 76 as no black bumperettes.
Its a 74Maybe a 76 as no black bumperettes.
