You are not wrong! The cynic in me says that this might reappear..... due to "time wasters".

I think you're right guys.....but it has got a fresh MOT ticket of course, which might carry a bit of value in it's own right....

Silver S3 on ebay in Belper. "Best Condition RX7 of this shape"....... :ugeek: Snort, Snort, Snort, Pawing at the ground......flames coming from my ears.

It looks very good but blimy, better than our Gus..... :o
I'll give best on the wheels.....they are nice.

The car was Paul's in Aberdeen (carszoomzoom). It hung about for a bit, I think 'cos it was a long way to go.

it is a lovely car..... I remember it took ages to sell last time but as you say Dave, that was probably down to the location rather than the car.
I prefer it on the stock wheels but that's just me.
It's one of the few 1st gens that come up for sale that I'd say is actually worth the asking price.
I hope the new owner joins us on here.

That's a lot of money :o More even than I paid for mine including a load of work. Still, it does look very nice. Not sure what those wheels are. They're like Enkeis but not quite... maybe a "fashion brand" copy like Axe or something :?

P.S. The punishment for posting a car For Sale ad without engine bay photos ought to be severe. Possibly up to and including having one limb of your choice removed :evil:

Looks a very tidy car but I think if I was parting with that sort of money I'd be buying Marks yellow beast.

Especially now he's swapping the VileSide for an Elford spoiler :lol: Sorry, Mark :oops:

I think it's fair enough, I didn't say it was necessarily overpriced, just that it was quite a lot. I'd be perfectly happy to pay that for a car with perfect body, mechs and no rust. In fact, I very nearly did, lol. I'm glad to see there are still some FBs going for sensible money rather than them all being a few hundred quid for a total shagnasty off eBay. But it's definitely sacreligious scraping off the pinstriping :lol:
