That car looks the business ey.....
I wouldnt mind to have one tbh, its an old rocket on four wheels!

[Morat]

That... is stunning. What a complete bargain!

[Rich_W]

137K and NO rust at all?

Doubt it! Just that you can't see it! And his prices for extra service or warranty or both leave a lot to be desired!

Im not a fan of the un-bodykitted ones , They look plain and boring
Looks clean but strong money in this climate .

[Rodderz]

I only like them without the council bodykit,and couldnt have one with a kit fitted!

Isn't 3 months warrenty compulsary from a dealer?

[jamie323i]

Strong money,but i bet it wont be around long!

These are rare as hens teeth and in that sort of condition i would imagine someone will buy that,its the sort of car you would keep.

Number 184 of 187 is one of the last too,bet its gone in a week.

Oh and i wonder what they paid for it?

[Rodderz]

Aruond about £6.5K

THANK YOU! Thats what I've been saying. These jokers try to sell absolute top notch BM's at absolute top notch money, then expect the punter to pay another 400 quid for a warranty that any dealer is bound over to.

Yes they can sell a car "as seen" so to speak but to ask 10k for what they themselves describe as an "absolutely superb example of this extremely rare car." and then bolster the statement with "If you are looking for one of these, you will not find better." then a 6 month warranty (at least) and a service should be par for the course.

Personally I think they are insulting peoples intelligence.

[Morat]

Dealers are always going to try and flog a warranty - it shifts the cost of the cover they have to provide by law onto the punter. There's nothing illegal in it, but you're right it does insult the intelligence of the guy buying. Of course you'll end up paying one way or another so maybe listing the options is the most honest way of doing it. They should list the "or rely on us sticking to the rules £0" option too

[Rodderz]

and when you look at thier prices it's easy to see that it's THEM who are pushing the price of collectable cars out of the reach of your average enthusiast!
