I think the thing that would worry me would be the lack of use and in my case too many pedals.

If you do go and look at it then give it a proper test drive. :wink:

By the look of what he's got in his garage I'd say he like his cars. Looks like a good find

Wow! lovely.

There was a similar one in a dealer in Edinburgh though with about 7500 miles, he had it for about 12months price starting at £18990, moving down in £500 increments until eventually either he auctioned it off or it got sold last price I think was £14995.

The year wouldnt bother me if I were treating this car similarly (ie mothballing it) but sadly if I got it, the poor wee thing would be parked on my driveway in all weathers and driven like it is meant to be, therefore in no time at all the premium paid would be largely wiped out.

I think I would be going for a newer one at this price, albeit used etc...there could be a few "warranty" issues still to surface and you would be out on your own.

Lovely example though, even if in some way it does make me feel sad (like seeing a caged bird).  :sad:

could be something to do with the original marketing info saying limited edition only 1500 to be made...  :rolleye:

from the amount of second hand one's you see around im sure it was triple that number in the end   :popcornsoda:

What a waste of a car!  :stupid:

Didn't Wayne (Moschops) have the highest number ed on here, 2275. I don't reckon there can be that many more after that.
