I still think for a 2500TC, unless the 'lots of spares' include a pair of NOS front wings, this is a 'bit strong' price wise.
Quick blow over and under bonnet detail it could be a £6k car on a certain midlands dealer's website

Yeah think it is a little overpriced, judging by what ive just sold mine for but as I say the prices do seem to have moved on in the last year.
Dad was looking for a car for 12 months to use as a daily driver, thinking he could get a good one for less than £2k but it just couldnt be done. He gave up in the end and bought a Freelander.
very rare....... nice when polished..... unlike this one!
Is the P reg correct for Slate Grey as thought that this was only available to 1970?.
I've never seen a car that late in slate before, its very rare to find an early mk2 in that colour, let alone a P reg. Id say its been resprayed at some point
There used to be a 1973 2000 in slate near my old house in Berkshire - 1974/75 seems a bit late for it

Im wondering if its actually Mallard thats faded and that coupled with bad light or maybe just a naff camera is making it look grey. Either that or it could have been a late car thats been reshelled with a body from an earlier model? Seen that before as the thicker gauge metal of the early mk2's seems to stand up better than the later ones.
Looking at the rear picture, it's got a pre-facelift bootlid with the large single piece number plate lamp with chrome rim. The boot lid could, of course have been changed at some point, but otherwise it would point towards an earlier shell being used to re-shell a later car. It does, however have the later rear screen rubber with the (remains of a) trim insert.
One way or another the colour (slate grey or laurel) doesn't add up with a facelift car. Looks encouragingly solid, though...
