dugong Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 You mean if it was owned by Dollywobbler or Señor Bollocks it would have provenance? Sorry, Dugong, you're just not good enough. True, but least I can spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think you're more likely to sell on RR than here, nothing sells in January anyway unless it's uber cheap, I'm not even bothering to advertise my Starion until March.Don't put un needed information and countless photos in the advert though, it looks like you're an enthusiast adding scene tax into it and it puts people off. Don't get impatient, I've had cars for sale for nearly a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ^^I'd agree with putting it on RR. Worth a punt, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I occasionally get the whiff of there being an 'inner sanctum' on here.I don't know about that, but I do know that usually there's a reason motors don't sell quickly, and that's price. You might think its a good deal, I might think its a good deal, but that doesn't mean everyone with money does.It's a bit of a specialist job because it's cracking little thing BUT...how many people 'need' it or hanker after it? The market is pretty limited so (IMHO) you're in for the long haul selling it. It's worth the money (or as near as) but it was always going to take a while to sell. I've got a push bike here that's the same, probably worth £1200 but the target audience is probably about three people in Europe, so it's going to take forever to sell.

It took months to sell the DAF the other year and the Lancia took even longer. Both were probably fairly priced but it was finding someone who wanted them (that wasn't t total tit).

I've got a push bike here that's the same, probably worth £1200 but the target audience is probably about three people in Europe, so it's going to take forever to sell. I'm not sure about the price reasoning, because I think it's well worth it's money. But it's bang on about having to wait a while for the right buyer. Took me the best part of 12 months to sell the Celica, just bumping it up car and classic every month or so. Helped that I was in no rush to sell, though. The way I see AS, as a selling medium, is it's just one of many free resources available. The car might appeal to someone on here. It might not. Same as anywhere else, the only difference being the size of the audience, which is obviously quite small. I certainly wouldn't take it personally, though, Jon, there aren't many on here who can combine the want of a rare small car and the means to buy, and I think it's just the same anywhere. I'd try R-R, CCW and car and classic for the free stuff. There will be someone out there for this car, it'll just take longer to find them. scruff and dugong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If this was a 1 Litre TD and Trigger or Dollywobbler owned it, I would DEFINATELY buy it, spend a grand on it, then crash it. As none of those things are true, I'll have to allow someone else the unbridled pleasure of ownership. Worth an ad on carandclassic mate. Its free and there seem to be a more mature and capital rich audience than ebay of bumtree. Worth a shot. Its certainly not overpriced, just need to find a buyer. alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugong Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 What's the story? Sales success? Looked great for £600. Indeed. The right clutch turned out to cost a bleeding fortune but the buyer has given me a bit more to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
