I'm joining the game ...Copart's £35 starting bid is a bit more excessive than the Lambo...
What can you get out of it apart from a lone tail light?!?! And a "ONE" badge?!




Est. retail value - £2000 GBP. Okayyyy then.

It has multi spoke alloys on all four corners but seems to also contain a severed wishbone, attached to a wheel and various bits of hub so I guess that adds to the scrap value when you weigh it in

It wouldn't surprise me if you could sell them to someone on eBay who wants to pretend they have a Lambo

Like the old Escorts and the Beetles, I wonder will the log books ever be worth a few £k ?

Will be going to one of those trader Elijah types that will boast about it by posting pictures of the log books on instagram

I thought this probably fitted here given the seller.

My issue isn't so much with the price, but the fact it seems to have been specified by Stevie Wonder. Metallic beige, yellow leather, pale wood.

Ludicrous.

If you got this car in as a Part X, why wouldnt you just spend £100 to change the wood trims to something more easily sellable?

Its such an easy change and makes such a difference.

Nearly £50k for George Michael's old Range Rover, not even his most recent one?

The ensuing damage.

147 bids and it's now at £65k

Did they actually overprice it then? If one of those bids comes off it sounds like they pitched it right!

My friend was the manager of that shop. Hampstead Snappy Snaps.

The wood is bad for sure, but the leather just doesn't match the outside colour at all. You know a lot of brochures show that you can only have certain interior and exterior colours together, this should be one of the combos banned on the grounds of good taste.

True.

The whole interior is hideous.

I oddly like the outside colour though.

Specsavers would be a good start

An ex work colleague of mine had a 330i touring in Brass metallic, it looked awesome in the sunlight.

£18000 overpriced

[Fun Bus]

Compared to how many others on the market?

[Fast Bug]

Well it failed to sell at Silverstone Auctions in January, with an estimate of £20k, so several people thought it was overpriced

6-8k and i'd be interested. 17k is just being silly now. They've even missed blacking the rear plastics completely under the rear lights. Plain old grey faded trim with a bit of back-to-black on

[ambuletz]

^ I think they're a contender against Hexagon for having over priced cars. They have a mk2 Golf GTI that's SORN for £17,000.

My first thought was that it would have to be SORN'd if they've bought it.

That thought quickly left me when I saw the car, it's got too many doors and is a horrible colour
