How much is my Rotary Powered Stylus worth?

[antnicuk]

As above, i am considering another project and havent a clue what my car is worth. The car has been rebuilt and virtually everything has been replaced in the last 2 years. There have been lots of pictures floating around so most know what it looks like.

Any sensible ideas. I dont want to go through the agg of selling if its not going to for enough for me to be able to fund my next project.

Just as guide, if have hunted down and breezed past rs500's on track days and on a Car Limits Activity day at north weald last week with the Lotus Elise club, i took the fast left hand bend at 94mph (check with a speed gun) and was quicker around short sprints than the honda supercharged powered elise and the supercharged exige, also the audi 20v turbo powere elise.

I have met anything that has overtaken me yet.......

Unortunately kit cars are only worth what people are willing to pay, and I have not known any Stylus ever to sell used for more than £10k . However, yours is particularly special, so could break that trend if someone wanted it bad enough. Try £12k with in-car footage links to Youtube showing it in action, you may get lucky! Good luck, I'd have it in a shot off you if I did not already have too many cars!

That was a drift what ya brung day at the pod so doesnt really give an idea of what its like around a track although it was good fun.

Sadly it's true value is probably higher than the price the average buyer will pay for it - people are naturally wary of anything that's different and, while a rotary has its advantages, it may be a little unorthodox to some.

This is a very good point. I would be quite nervous of such an unfamiliar engine, so it's bound to be most attractive to someone who is a) familar with this type of engine and b) wants a kit car..

If it was my car, and I wanted to get on with the next project, I would probably try it at £8K no offers and see what happened.
