Default Re: 1971 Motion Car on Ebay

Hey guys,

I am a member here and posted the pictures of the Motion Manx you see on the SUPERCAR SITE site. I gave the car in question to my father a few months ago. He has since decided to sell it.

I was hoping if he decided to sell car, he would list it here on this fabulous site, but he chose ebay. I guess it's a good thing you guys roam ebay!

I believe there to be NO paint work/ repair/ or accident since "The Local Brush" painted the car. I am not a paint guy but when I spoke with him he described what seemed like a very eloborate process of layer after layer after layer of Candy, Pearl, then Candy, then Pearl etc. to achieve the final result. As the paint has faded over the years, some of the detail has been lost in the "artwork", but is still visible upon closer inspection.. These don't show in the pictures and I think that this is the reason for the discrepancy when comparing today's pictures to ones taken 30+ years ago. EXAMPLE: Gary airbrushed in a series of circles that grow in size. They can be found at different locations on the body including on top of the front and rear fenders as well as on the hood. They also swoop through the large flower on the hood. You can clearly see them in the cover photo, but they don't show in the recent pictures. However, when you look at the car in person, they are visible, just faded..

This car deserves to go to someone who will appreciate it's history and preserve it - so it is nice to see some interest amongst the true "Motion" enthusiasts

Best Regards,

Sean
