Remember that yellow M3 (yes, it's a genuine M3) on the last page? Here's how it looks now.

Are those arches made from cardboard? |http://thumbsnap.com/dFVGcDuj[/url]
I actually don't mind rivet on arches on some cars.. and then someone comes along and ruins it for everyone.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Raffling cars is illegal, falls under lottery laws and cannot be held by a private individual for monetary gain.
How dull. I've seen a few people raffle cars and things when they've struggled to find a normal buyer and it seems everyone goes away happy. Seller gets rid, winner gets a car for peanuts, losers have only lost a few quid. But thank goodness there's a law to protect us from ourselves!melhookv12 said:

...When I visited it was sitting among about 6 or 7 1960s Mustangs, (exposed to the elements!), which you could apparently hire for £250 a day but I couldn't vouch for their roadworthiness.
I could'a cried.

Lotteries (also known as raffles, or draws) cannot be run for private or commercial gain.

Is there any gain? Surely the car is being sold for whats its worth in many small amounts.
You receive money where you didn't have some before, so yes there is gain.Regardless, a private individual cannot conduct a contest where they receive money and people have the chance of a reward, that's gambling.

You had an asset with a value. If the car was bought for, say, £5000 a few years about, then raffle tickets to the value of £1500 are sold, have you made monetary gain? Or to look at it a different way, if the car is valued at £2000 now and £1500 of raffle tickets are sold, is that still a monetary gain?
I'm not saying it isn't, just musing over the definitions.
