I’m wondering if it would make sense, in the case of the reserve not being met, to offer the car at the reserve price to the highest bidder? I was the highest bid on a car recently, but unfortunately didn’t meet the reserve. If the difference wasn’t great, I may have considered increasing the bid to meet the reserve.

Imagine how much it would have been worth if it was in a light gold colour.

A champagne super nova.

You’d have thought they’d be in touch, unless it was a big gap.

Recapturing a fading youth for me, plenty of memories made in many Novas!

Plus you just don’t see many around anymore, especially not in such condition.

There's a reason for that...

what do people think of the testarossa? It has a missing service book and km speedo but it looks in superb condition but not used much.

Did anyone see what the high bid on the challenge straddle was?

Yes those ‘new budget tyres’ on those wrong colour wheels on a car with no AC almost got me buying it but alas my limit was £9500+ fees :sadfacebutnotreallyasitseemsmentaltome:

That and the 11 year gap in service history...

On the opposite end of the scale to that type-r, this must've really hurt the seller...

£5676 for a near-perfect 1987 MR2 has to be a bargain? Looks like the current owner has spent thousands getting it to this standard. But as much as it shouldn't matter, the seller really should have replaced the 9 year old tyres before selling.

All the work was done before the current owner bought it. I'd say he's spent very little on. Not even put fresh tyres on it. The pics show just the arches being replaced and note there is some bubbling again (trade talk for rotten). I'd say they probably want doing again soon.
