This IS the ultimate 'Trigger's broom' (if you're old enough to remember...).

I do agree that it is a 'broom with a new head and a new handle' but as someone who is currently trying to make one good Shogun out of two, I do have a great deal of empathy with the seller and if the advert is a fair reflection of the car then it would certainly be exciting for £5k.

I quite liked this V8 MX5 for under 5K, although sold now: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190744112162?ssPageName=...

Well observed (or badly missed on my part). From the other side it looks fine.

Worth checking for accident damage.

<Quentin Willson> Put a private plate on it, and people will think you paid three times the price </Quentin Willson>

Seriously nice looking bit of kit that, Colour really sets it off.

I can't think of a reason not to buy that Porsche.

[walsh]

Running costs? What are they like? Cant see them being cheap to service..

Couple of my mates have boxsters that are used as daily(ish) drivers....here are the reasons i wouldn't buy a boxster.....

£1200-£1500 a year servicing / maintenance
clutch is £600
new disks & pads are £700
If the oil seal goes on the gearbox its £850

Yes great car but cheap by no means, even if the purchase cost is low, plus that one is a Cat D (which i know might mean nothing significant). I would rather spend a bit more on one or get a 911 with similar running costs, if i was in the market for a Porker.

Great thread and just what I need. I'm currently hankering after a toy car which needs to be inexpensive and ideally suitable for classic insurance. I was going to bid on this but it has been withdrawn because the seller did a deal outside of ebay - which always annoys.

I had a friend at uni who had one of those, I always wondered what the fuss was all about until I followed him one day, really quick for it's engine size. They're definitely sleepers.
