Any reason why this particular car is so cheap? Or is it cheap, is this the real sale value of these cars?

Cheap isnt the word i would use, good value for money more like. Its was up for more, but as every thing in life it is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Snap it up and you will make money (subject to it being all correct !)If its still aroung in a couple of months time, then i might just do so. Then change the colour, red or white for me !

That's an ex-LCUK member's car which is at least the equal of any other 5000S that may be for sale right now and a car which is looking better-than-brilliant in that yellow and white colour scheme, I reckon...

Also at that price, it's a bargain with very little reason or room for haggling by any buyer!

This is fantastically fantastic....IMHO opinion (probably because I wasn't about when the 70's C's came out) the best looking, with all the wings and scoops!!!

All it needs is a lick of [red] paint....puuurfect.

If you are in the market, then have it checked and go for it. I made the jump last Feb, and Harry Metcalfe from Evo did it in the summer with a QV. Not many left in the UK, so get it whilst you can.

I've not seen the car in the flesh but have been watching it's progress over the past 6 months . It was up at 90k not so long ago . You'd be hard pushed to find a cheaper 5000s right now , it's done no miles really . They appear to be around 90k region from what I've seen . If I had the means right now I'd be heading down to Essex with my cheque book .

They are fantastic, awesome, legendary ,mental, groundbreaking, and dare I say robust

The one for sale is a beauty and will be a solid investment and above all life changing in the smiles department

Am I biased absolutely I bought my QV last year and now understand the hype and Harrys delight

Here's mine and I cannot wait for dry days

So anyone thinking about it sell your current super car buy one and drive a golf diesel daily,

Yes , your prize is having the privilege of sitting in and driving THE most iconic supercar ever . Supercars did not spawn the Countach . The Countach invented the supercar . Owning one should be rewarding enough I would have thought rolleyes

More pictures please TKH. I think your car / colour is beautiful.

I sold my red 5000s 3 years ago because I needed to for medical reasons (the cash was helpful too) and I still miss it
