They have two for sale and more importantly a  38k mile mk1 campaign ..... They do know how to add a bit to the price though... At least with 8v you won't need to have your winkle shortened to 16v size :grin:

I have been a car salesman for the last 5 years.
this car has been with them for a while but where else could you find a car with that kind of mileage and in that condition.
As always we all think our cars are worth more than what they are but the cars are only worth what somebody will pay for them.
Would you rather buy a 1 owner full service history car that has been meticulously restored to its former glory
or as I have just bought a 6 owner 137k car that has had the loom chopped to pieces.

I would love the money to be able to buy this car and not have to deal with the issues of my current car and kinda start from new

Whats your thoughts???

Too many people see them as cheap bling... In a few years time original unmolested will be worth bucks hopefully...

Jay made a fair comment tbh, he obviously enjoys his cars more than what the monetary value means to him, and is also very  cautious when spending money on his pride and joy... best of both worlds

If only it was a Big Bumper BBM then I would be wanting to buy it!!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Holly Crap - it's only a Small Bumper Greenish colour... Yuk - It must be mega over priced.... :rolleyes:

It's a nice car and TBH worth every Penny they are asking for it... IMO

Only Issue is we all know what we want to pay for a MK2 - and it's not £5K - That don't mean this car isn't worth it...

Just look at the silly prices on ED38 for TOTAL CRAP...

Just cos we wouldn't pay it, don't mean the car ain't worth it...

I wouldn't sell my red one - with more mileage for less than that!!!

Very True!!

Your MK2 experience is limited by a comment like this...

Give me a 6 owner 137K mile car that's been used daily, over a "Maybe poorly restored" car any day...

Low Mileage - can mean big problems due to total lack of use....

I would love the money to be able to buy this car and not have to deal with the issues of my current car and kinda start from new

Whats your thoughts???

Yawn.... :shocked:
