Surely the gash interior should decrease the value? Never know might have 6k on the clock but I doubt it.

But he's spent FOUR POUNDS on it





I like the seats.

Doesn't need one now either. I'm sure it's safe.

I genuinely do not understand people who do these kind of things. if you're loaded then you can do it to a good standard. but if you're not then surely you must realize is a big waste of time and money?

Anyone for a poverty spec L322 with the tractor engine for £9500? Advertised as an Autobiography, reg check shows it as an SE and a quick zoom in shows it doesn't even have heated seats, odd for a "top spec car". But hey, at least it's a rust free example

I'm conflicted about this P38, seems a hell of a lot for a run of the mill P38, although the mileage and condition are pretty remarkable

Seems to be saying it's a Cat C or D, which must imply something about how thoroughly original it is, if you're going to pay that kind of money for it as a modern classic

HPI shows it as a Cat C

No low ballers, I know what I have.

I mean rust is lighter than carbon fibre I suppose.

Apologies if these 2 have appeared on the thread previously:

Just shy of £7k for a 205 GTI with dubious claims about a heritage Skip Brown engine conversion (no proof of course, just that it's "rapid on the road" laugh - and judging by the interesting air filter setup with the AFM currently cable tied in place it's doubtful), missing fuel cap replaced with a universal suction cup type jobbie (as clearly someone snapped the key / lock), and the most torn / tatty interior i've seen in one for a while.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224485910157

£8k for a 205 GTI with an interesting plush interior trim and best of all currently doesn't run due to a completely unknown electrical issue somewhere in the custom wiring loom, or ecu, or maybe even the engine, but they're sure it's easily sorted.

I quite like an MR2, but surely this asking price is at least double (maybe triple) the value of the car regardless of condition or mileage.

Have we had that one before or are there multiple 12 year old C6 V6s up at £15k+? They must be a waltmobile.

Delusional. I think they're undervalued, but even so- the final 300 runout model is going for less than £7k, and there are rare TTE turbo cars for way less than this one.
