This car was sold at auction by SWVA on 27th April at £3,250 plus commission, and immediately placed on Ebay at £4.999, where it still languishes.

I was surprised to find that the Beta was an absolute beauty. When it reached a fair price I thought that it had gone to enthusiasts. I suspect the purchasers may now wish to cut their losses. I post this in the hope that someone looking for a Beta might be this car's deliverer. I believe by the way that the Beta automatic is a thoroughly respectable variant.
