Its a blue one

[StarmistBlue400]

Engine bay is dirty

[brett84]

this has been for sale for ages hasn't it?

[SILICONEKID350HP]

All thee negative comments from the 4l owners ..The owner has obviously lost interest ,,probably got more money than sense and can`t be bothered to clean it up ..

The engine alone would cost more than a tidy Chimaera ..Just hope someone buys it very soon .

It has been for sale for a long time, but would probably be a good buy if it has been maintained and looked after as much as the ad says.

Highly tuned bespoke cars will appeal to a niche market, so will take longer to sell. It has been for quite some time and remains an extremely poor market for any vehicle, especially such a luxury/ speciality item. You'll proably find that the owner is already probably taking a massive hit even at that price, but isn't prepared to go any lower. If I had the cash, I'd have a look. However, you're also breaking into Cerb 4.2/ 4.5 territory and getting closer to Carrera 4s prices, which thins out the market even more.

If its in your price range, go and have a look.

The owner has dropped the price by £1k it was previously advertised at £15k

I viewed this with a view to replacing the engine with my old 500 and moving it on and putting the engine into mine. Apart from the engine best described as unloved. Chassis needs work

yes a very long time

tbh its a properly st advert and not enough pics - and on something so specialised a good an well written advert is important, multiple good photos even more so.

... and as already mentioned, a clean of the engine bay wouldn't go amiss!

So in reality, probably worth no more then £8K ish.

The labour aspect is always far more then people think.
