Looking at the pictures of LR153 underneath, it clearly needs cleaning and a good seal coating to protect it.

I wonder if the market will support decent prices, with three Rapides all becoming available in such a small window of time?

Of the three cars, my choice would be LR127, even though it needs the Whitehead box.

Shame to see the bubbling in the relatively new paint, in the close up pics. Also the oxidation on the cam covers might suggest the car's been kept awhile in a damp garage. Good points about the underneath, needs a good scrub and preserve

Up to £90k now but sale is suspended for 15 minutes, to me it seemed their live website was having "issues"
Still below reserve
