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).

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.

1986 'D' registration Isuzu Piazza Turbo Manual. One of the original Isuzu GB cars.
Finished in Hyper SIlver Metallic with Oyster interior, this car has been well used albeit well maintained, with a reconditioned turbocharger fitted around two years ago, a recent head gasket and brake overhaul and regular servicing courtesy of its enthusiastic owner. Long MoT and some road tax remaining, unfortunately the current owner needs to reduce his fleet and it has become the PIazza's turn to leave :(
SOLD!!!!
