Valuations now recognised by Practical Classics:
CONDITION 1 = £3000
CONDITION 2 - £1500
CONDITION 3 - £600
1 = Cars are not concours, but are well presented and with no major faults.
2 = Cars are capable of regular use. They have a current MoT certificate but will need work and/or original parts to make them Condition 1.
3 = Cars usually need a complete rebuild, but they might be driveable and MoT'd.

(Any car classed as "concours" or approaching such condition would be expected to achieve higher than the quoted Condition 1 price, as has been seen at auction recently).
IT'S GREAT TO SEE THESE RARE CARS FINALLY GETTING SOME RECOGNITION!!!
FOR SALE
A RARE OPPORTUNITY!
TWO complete Isuzu Piazza Turbos for sale, for Spares or Repair!!!
One of these cars carries a valuable, cherished number plate which could be sold if the car is refurbished and given an MoT. Both were to be the subject of a restoration project but, as often happens in life, this was not meant to be, so the owner is now reluctantly offering them for sale.
One car is a red, pre-Lotus and the other is a white Handling by Lotus.
Neither car has moved in a while so they would both need to be recovered by trailer or similar.
A bargain at £600 or near offer for the pair!
They are located in East Yorkshire.
Please call Lynne on 07929 154049 for mor details.

1989 'F' registration Isuzu Piazza Turbo Automatic "Handling by Lotus"
In absolutely superb condition and meticulously looked after, this is a very reluctant sale of a much-loved vehicle. Finished in Romanesque Silver with Moonmist Grey interior, she has only 67000 miles on the clock and is MoT'd until August 2011 (currently on SORN but could be taxed at buyer's expense).
This car is a must-see for anyone who is serious about buying an outstanding example of a rare and collectible piece of unique automotive history.
Photographs available on request, can email.
