Im not too bothered about what engine really, would like a late ish one, 97 onwards, price is dependant on car, pm me keith.

in the same boat as you, number of chims around for sale have plumeted over Christmas, about 4 pages on PH i think. I suspect as soon as spring comes they will all be popping out the woodwork though!

If you fancy something that isn't blue or green mine is up for sale at the moment.

Probably at teh moment the lack of prvate sellers is alsodown to the lack of buyers at this time of year. Not many people splash out on a sports car around Christmas.

I'm afraid I'm one of those buyers too, will be hoping to nab one around May/June time at the mo! thumbup There's been some excellent looking bargains on PH over the past 2 months and a bit but as previously said, the amount of Chims has also plummeted over the past few weeks too!

Having said, I'd love a project Chim I can build up for the summer but none of those around either frown

Will be letting mine go within the next few months - as i'm ashamed to say, that since getting it, i've barely used it. paperbag

So if anyone's after a 98 Camel yellow 400, with 26k on the clock, let me know.
