End of an era

Dark cloud on the horizon

She's gonna be leaving this year me thinks... weeping

Still got some way to go, but got "the chat" from the other half, and seems it might well be time. I'm sure there will be others down the road, but for now, we're going 4x4 and doing the en-suite. The 4x4 was my compromise wink

Still got to run-in the rebuild, and get the re-map done after the induction work biglaugh so wont be until summer I don't think - but wondered what thoughts might be around a fair price for:

- 1999 4.5
- RedRose Spec' Rebuild (250 miles on the clock)
- Induction just done, stainless sports exhaust
- lots of other bits and pieces of course smile
- Probably could do with a front end respray, but perfectly "OK" as is
- She's green, so "average" in the speed ranks. I seem to recall the red ones were fastest wink

Think that covers the main/big bits to get to a price. Like I said, still some work to do, hope to squeeze in a TR and a jaunt to the coast for chips (or 2!). I would still expect her to have a thousand, or may two, absolute tops on the new build, and she's NOT FOR SALE YET!

There's a fair variance on prices (looking at the classifieds) with nothing quite the same. Not sure how much the rebuild is worth in re-sale etc. so welcome thoughts. Just for info, probably £10k plus in the last 18 months or so on her...

So apart from telling me I'm silly for ever selling, I'd welcome what you think a fair price is. £16k?

Don't do it... I have similar thought every now and again, usually get over them soon enough.
