I don't think it's that expensive tbh.  It's a 25yo car that's in (apparently) mint condition, on 19,000 miles...  stuff like that isn't exactly on every street corner.

Sure, it's a base spec Cav in the most 90s colour ever, but, ya know.

 

Money wise, what's £2.5k these days?  The average smoker spends £3k a year killing himself- now that is stupid!

Given that £2.5k is a dangerous zone for used car buying, this could be a canny way of bagging a really mint reliable and cheap to run motor.

I paid £7k for my Savvy (and got 9yr @zero FTP!) but much prefer a 27yo Toyota @£350...

 

I will not be buying another car until Bus Pass >> I think I'm safe ;)

"The car is missing some items such as the hood(bonnet), seats. etc.

We believe this car did not have an engine when it was used in the filming, it looks as it has been on a rotisserie for shooting different camera angles."

 

£10,000.00

Was probably ok until it was parked up in Huyton.

KLF classic cars, with their white room, they're " justified and extortionate"

 

Their next highly polished offering will probably be an ice cream van!  :-D

Viewts go for that money if not terminally rusty

 

Only in Spring though

Non-vehicular price escalation.

On this speculative basis my box of [-]moldy tat[/-] rare and valuable motoring periodicals is worth a grand more than it was yesterday.

 

I would absolutely pay £15 for my very own Issue 1 of Joypal.

 

I meant to order back issues while they were still available, but on pocket money of 50p per week in 1992 it was sadly beyond my fiscal ceiling at the time. Whereas £15 is just within reach these days.

I went unsold so make him an offer before it goes out in the recycling

Do you know who was selling it, at all? The post upthread only had a picture, not a link to the listing. I checked and can't find owt...

 

EDIT: tracked down the seller and messaged him. I found a box containing all my Jafloppys up in the attic while putting away the festive tat, and bitterly regret that my collectionette only starts at #3... Would like to remedy that, if possible. Hoping to chase blokey down and put in an offer (if it isn't already in the bin, as you say!)

 

EDIT EDIT: It's still there and available. But the cover's coming away a bit around the staples, apparently. Sooooo... now the fun starts. How loooooow do I go?

Well it's worth a tenner of excitement to me and also probably at the bottom of its curve. 

 

I might have #2, will check, but now I know it's so valuable I could be persuaded to swap it for one of your gooners

I think it has the potential to looks very good tbh. Maybe not £2.5k good, but still...

I thinks so too but this mess looks hashed up and aborted

You'd be so very welcome to one of them...

There are better pics on the link, but my comment was aimed at the general shape tbh... many 'kit car' body shapes are not easy on the eye, this one works well.
