Green?

Not many of those around, might be a Bullitt
Don't think so. Its a pale metalic green - sort of washed out lime. Looks ok, but you'd hardly look at it twice. Bullitt was much darker I think..

Highland green was the colour in the film i think.

That pale green looks like a 70's bathroom suite colour

No/notsure/I like Eleanor but I'd settle for an early fastback.

There is a 77 Camaro on dubizzle at the moment.. Just saying..

Edited as I got the year of the car wrong. Not that I'm still interested or anything..

Quick question - on top of the price agreed, what other costs do I need to factor in to get on the road?

Insurance obviously, several tanks of fuel, (got to make sure its run in properly..), inspection fee at a trustworthy garage to make sure I'm not buying a lemon, RTA fee, (couple of hundred is it?)

I've a couple of strong possibles lined up, but trying to avoid the need to bring cash here from the UK this month to do it, (I'm supposed to be sending money the other way..). Just trying to play with some figures before I get too excited..

Inspection Fee: AED120
Registration: AED370 (for new ownership - correct me if I am wrong)
Insurance: depends if fully comp with Stealership repair / fully comp non Stealership repair / Third party only
Salik Tag: AED100
AED150 if you want to use the "valet" service i.e. drop car keys off, sit and have a cup of coffee, pay fees and wait for new rego card in your name.

Also, money to pay off any older fines you have collected over the period from your last registration

No idea, need Shirt, Dusty or one of that lot.

However, the way he has worded that ad makes me want to spam him with 'lowball' offers and 'what is your best price' emails.

If you know what it is worth and it considerably more than 10k, plis not being in a hurry to sell it, why would opening it to the 10k crowd on Dubizzle help your cause?

Sounds about on the money I think. Lot of bang for your buck with one of these. Something about the ad makes me just walk away..

If it is genuine documented mileage, I would be advertising in Europe where there are likely to be more collectors of such things, but would guess at 65-70 if it is spotless.

Here? Lovely in a collection, but as an everyday car- no thanks. Limited air con, on off power delivery and too many idiots to dent it!

Still a very lively thing although- if it were mine it would have martini stripes in an instant

too many of them about, and too many flaws, to make big money. @60k would be reserved for the 89 model year - run out versions with the g50 box.

anyway, i;d much prefer this and a pair of ray bans

I see he's come down in price - I was speaking to the guy at Al Aweer and he wanted 580k a couple of months back.

Supposedly signed by Carole Shelby and has 1,100km on (Genuine?)

BTW, anyone got any advice on a Mitsubishi Pajero - 2008/2009 model, GLS with the 3.8 V6.

Plenty aout with low mileage - anything I should be aware of (apart from usual checking service history etc)?
