G26 wreck - What's it worth?
Discussion
I'm struggling to find values for these boxy and rather unloved Ginettas.
I have the chance to buy one in VERY poor condition.
The doors and glass are out of the car and it's sat outside for years (I first saw it around 10 years ago and it's condition has only got worse, at least it USED to have a tarp over it but its long gone now)
There is no interior at all, other than the dashboard which is missing it's dials. The headliner is down, seats missing, carpets missing or trashed from sitting outside in the rain etc.
There is a bit of damage on the fibreglass at the very front bumper.
The car is missing it's engine and gearbox, which is fine, as I have an engine and gearbox looking for a new home, and this seems a good place for them to live.
I mean, it's basically F***ed. Totally.
But what is it worth? It's difficult to put a value to it really. I don't desperately want the car, but it's local enough, and a Ginetta...
Will go nicely with the 4/4 I'm restoring.

Well, I think this has fallen through now.
I found one that sold a while ago on car and classic, a red one without engine and box, but with a full interior in good condition. It sold for £295. I pointed this out to the seller and said 'no way' and wanted £500 as an absolute minimum. I was at the £250 mark.
Although as suggested, it did seem like the sort of car that can't be scrapped easily so I'll do them a favour and take it away for free.
Maybe it will sit there for another 10 years...
