Those flares look awful, more suited to a 1.2 Corsa in Croydon. Gmund seem to have fairly optimistic asking prices, have they sold the very ordinary white car for £59,995 yet?

Seems like 'steel flares' and a duck tail adds 30-35k to the cars value.... mmmm maybe thats what I should do.

Not for me I fear at any price. Im with you Tom - subtle - and I have an orange car!

I would prefer this one which sold early this morning. Even with duty & VAT, shipping costs, etc., its better value & better looking than Gmund's.

no

first two auctions from a seller in Salt Lake City, UT
then three auctions from a seller in San Diego, CA

some craiglist ads meanwhiles

they tried to sell it as a M471 car up to June 2013 - and the asking price represented this fault ...
due to the fact that it is definitely not a M471 car, the reserve price was far too high
this might explain the non selling history

and I think it won't sell at the current asking price ... (just my 2 ct)

I'll eat my cat if it sells for half that!!!

Makes me wonder what mine would be worth?? it ticks all the right $$$ boxes - steel flares, kick spoiler, race history etc Heck, I'd even throw in a new tax disk holder is someone showed me £25k for it :lol:
