Picked up the "new" 145S last night ..... turns out it's a 1969 model, not a 1968, but is in etraordinary condition for it's age, really.
202,000 miles on the clock (& only 7,000 since 1996 !), straight, one rust hole in the LHR door frame you can't fit a pinky through, and all original panels & (faded) paint. Also has a complete service & repair history since the guy I got it off bought it in 1971 - including a record of nearly every tank of fuel he ever put in it !!
Having not been started for 18 mionths, it also comes with a thriving spider population in the engine bay ... :o)
On an initial look-over, it shoyuldn't be hard to get going again. Lots of little tidyup jobs required, but with a car nearly 40 years old that's to be expected.
Couple of photos below ....
