Hi does anyone have any info on the silver car for sale on eBay & piston heads ? I'm hoping to get one in the next few months & don't fancy a bad buy
It's the one with the big rear mounted wing that's been for sale for ages
Thanks in advance

I dont want to be negative but:-

Look at the mileage history
2011 = 169
2012 = 353
2013 = 0
2014 = 3015
2015 = 3124

18 year old car that only had 169 miles in the first 13 years eek
1973 engine

This car was stolen from under my nose by Richard and his dad from the factory a couple of years ago when it was for sale at £25k the mileage is correct and it was not used from new because the guy had ill health I did make a sensible offer on the car to the current dealer of 10k more than it was previously but thank god they didn't accept because I have now bought a beautiful yellow Can-Am which has a new renowned Charles Dunne engine and maintenance schedule, just remember the age for the money and also you will struggle with body parts if God forbid you damage them I don't think they are available anymore and if they are, you would have to sell your house and kids to pay for them. I think the chassis or suspension parts are different from the current day models too ?
Got to admit I totally love the rounded rear end and the detachable rear spoiler and would have one in a heartbeat but not at that price
Best of luck which ever way you decide to go

I asked the factory recently about a new front clip for my sport. They still have the molds and quoted me a not unreasonable price for a new one.

I suspect the Factory will be able to supply any part required (that the Factory originally made) or at least an updated part.

The price is a reflection of the quality of the build/car and I think it is worth remembering that building a new nicely spec'd car will be north of £75k. A good condition well made car is growing in value as the cost of a new build rises.

An Ultima at any price is still great value in the performance per £ stakes.
