G26 unbuilt new kit anyone?

[dandarez]

A barn find eh?
Delivered in 1984 and virtually untouched for over 30 years.

Nice kit to build over Xmas...

Price?

Well, I don't think the price right yet. It'd be interesting to see what it'd fetch if auctioned.

This has been on eBay since September:

The asking price has gone up and down in the various ads. The value at auction? Completed cars with registrations trade for less than £1,000. It may be new but any purchaser would be faced with the challenge of passing IVA - and there may be some fundamental design issues preventing it passing. I would put the value at about £500 as a source of spares for an existing owner.

I'm 99% sure that it'll only sell at auction as they're so far off with the price. The seller will not doubt have it up for a long time before reality sets in.
On a similar subject, I fancied a Europa S2. There's been one for sale in Malta for at least two and a half years, at no asking price. Draw your own conclusions why that car hasn't sold yet either.

you can get a G26 in necessity of rebuilt. but incl. a v5c for 1k, or even less.

so guess what this kit without v5c is worth?

[Andy Allenton]

Hurry everyone, It's now up for just £9,975! He's persistently optimistic, if not fully grasping reality!

And back again with the remnants of another G26 and it's V5C included. So you can now have the option of registering it illegally.
