(Suppose it is if someone buys it at that price). It is extremely rare; they were made right at the end of the TT range's existence and sold only in France and only in very small numbers. I don't have Ramsey's Catalogue to hand but you are definitely looking at three figures, although not I suspect those three figures. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were both on the side of being the man who is closest to sanity. We were herded at gunpoint to attend a "Sleep Awareness Course". Originally there was meant to be eight people, but after a couple of weeks, we were the only regulars. So we had the course leader and a couple of JAFOs taking notes and us taking no notice. The poor bloke had to keep saying "If we can come back out of the rabbit hole for a minute"... But we'd filled out all the paperwork and done what we were supposed to anyway. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
