If it was a car I’d be looking to purchase and checked out from an HPI pov, going by the MOT history (recent suspension pins advisories only), mileage and spec, I’d start by offering £7.5k. £9k is decent coupe money at the moment and quite punchy for any E85.

Looking at the ones recently sold, £8k is the top. Similar condition ones with 80k miles are £7k and like mine with 91k, £5.7k

Corrective spending like I am doing brings the spend up very quickly, and you don’t want to end up at £10k

Well, inkey$ and I are more or less aligned but we have both gone through the costs of bringing anything up to scratch :lol:

Unless a car has been garaged all its life, you are going to find the issues that I am finding. Amazing what winter salt and outside living do to a car

Difficult one to price, as there are very few to compare to and condition at this age can vary hugely.

In my opinion it’s in one of the nicest colour combination with reasonable mileage. I don’t think it’s too far off price wise although it’s been mentioned you are edging close to Coupe money, the reality is there is a larger choice of Coupes than facelift 3.0l Roadsters.

I suspect give it another 8 weeks and there may be a slightly larger choice, that being said any keenly priced cars sell very quickly!

I never understand this, if you want to sell something then why would you not communicate with your potential buyers!

Had that a few times as well whilst looking, either sold or something wrong (like a cat car)

Excuse my ignorance, what is the suspension arm pins going to cost parts and labour?
