I have just come across this odd looking beast.

http://pistonheads.com/sales/4042923.htm

Firstly I find it strange that you would convert a P38 like that, but each to their own.

But who is going to pay £9000 for it! Base car is only worth about £3000.. I dont think the conversion quite makes it worth that much more, thats probably just what it cost to build and he expects that much back.

Any other over priced cars you have come across in the classifieds?

All true, but if they aren't in a hurry to sell it then doing this means:

a) some mug might by chance come along and pay it
b) you'll get an offer way below what you've listed it at, but still way more than what it's really worth. Something that wouldn't happen if you priced it too low to begin with


Also there's the fact that maybe they are being told to sell it (but don't want too). So have deliberately over priced it in the hope that it doesn't sell.

So the RR Sport is just a P38 in a frock? Sounds like it, if a bloke in a shed can drop a Sport body on a P38 chassis and get it to work. All the classy image of the Sport with the reliability of an ageing P38. Bargain, clearly.

He clearly isn't an 'enfusiast' of spelling. Pretty cool car though, but £9k?
