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

And those 'several people' were comparing it too...

P Reg Astra Gsi in totally average condition? £6500.

Wrong bonnet isn't it? It should have vents. The red paint has probably been t-cut so much there will be nothing left.

It probably doesn't even have the Redtop Xe engine , i'm sure they changed it to the inferior ecotec. And those vents? Or lack of.

What they consider to be good value. The market decides the value of something, with a top estimate of £20k the bidding would probably have started around the £10k mark. With lots of advertising prior to the auction, the market place has decided that it's over priced hence why it's been for sale for a while now.

If you think it's fairly priced, go and buy it

They'd dropped the redtop by then and the bonnet vents

If I had the means I'd put a keen offer in - I don't believe in paying full price if I don't have to.

I'd not looked at it how you've explained it, makes sense.

A classic Ford for less than 3 grand? Sounds like the bargain of tbe century!

I had a 8v(x2) and 16v and even though the 8v is slower you had to work it, which meant it was more fun. it was a time when a car was fun first and stats second. Nowadays stats rule the roost, 0-60 and bhp etc..

if i could get a tidy 8v for normal money, i would. i loved those cars.

$5 is still way too much for this lambo even if it needs a little TLC.

No you don't, as that isn't the same car at all.
One for sale has all 4 wheels still attached, as it appears to have just caught fire and is mostly intact

The one in the video was obliterated when it hit the guard rail and ripped most of its wheels off

The one for sale has multi spoke, which I am guessing aftermarket(?)

The one in the video has these wheels

sell it in america and say it's original bodywork, there's a growing car scene/demand for that according to R.rowlings.

Insane, I've owned multiple proper Minis and the thought of paying that for one really is a case of style over substance. Once you remove their inherent affordability then you're left with nothing more than a fashion accessory. I can understand the premium you pay for a car you can use for historic motorsport purposes but even then I remember the days of the sub 5K ex-Paddy Hopkirk Cooper in 'Car and Classic' . I dread to think what that would cost these days.

I think that looks fantastic really, aside from the rear lights.

They've been sniffing petrol again. And smoking crack before pulling that figure out the crack of their arse.

At least try and level the o/s headlight first before asking over 34k.
