SBC with only 2800miles and with Isle Of Man logo on number plate!

The price may be a bit optimistic for an auction at £35-40K but H&H do have a tendency to put strong estimates on.

I suspect that is extrapolated from the Factory record along with a good dose of exaggeration.

There's nothing in PH classified below £35K, pity it's a RHD as I suspect the favorable FX rate could attract overseas buyers.

This has been up for sale 3 times on eBay over the last 2 years, for around 40k the last time it was advertised. The car was built in the isle of man and has never had a UK registration it will probably need to go through SVA the garage that owns it has never done this in all the time they have owned it Why? Who knows .

Hasn't the emissions standard on the IVA test been tightened and that has caught a few slow builders out.

When this Can Am was new and spec'd up it would have probably passed the test, but not sure it would pass today with a Holley carb and no CATs? Nothing that cannot be altered and/or respec'd, but tricky proposition as it stands?


I looks like a nice example, but checked the auction T&C and I think the buyer fee is 12%. So even at £35k (bottom of guide price) it is going to cost over £39K to take it home...

As I said, the price is over-egged.

I think the buyer (at auction) will need to be paying between £25k and £28k to make is viable after auctioneer fees and getting it registered here.
