    One more thought on "brougham." A true brougham was a vehicle (including horse-drawn carriage) where the passengers rode in an enclosed compartment while the driver rode on an open front seat. The car that Oddjob drove Goldfinger to the golf course in for the match with 007 is a brougham.

    I agree that lack of a photo of the rear seat is really not that big a deal. But that's not true for the other areas not photographed.

    That plus-shaped tire-iron he's got loose in the trunk is not standard equipment. But I don't know that I'd worry TOO much about it damaging anything. You'd have to be going very fast around a corner before it would have enough momentum to even hit the side of the trunk let alone dent it or puncture it. But still, it should be secured.

    One bid at $1000 with reserve apparently met.

    The listing actually says no reserve. Heck of a car for $1000 if it ends that way.

    He feels the need to photograph the clutter that's in there. That hydraulic jack is limited to only lifting 2 tons. So, why is it in there at all? Especially, not fastened down somewhere. He definitely needs professional advice, as to how vehicles of that caliber are to be sold
