I have been (politely) advised that these cars have little or no value. True: we are aware of that!
It has also been pointed out to me that anyone purchasing this car would need to, at least, service, MOT and tax it before use. Also true: and we are aware of that as well!
This would cost in the order of £300. I daresay: Tax (6 mths) and MOT would be £160, but you might save a little on the service by doing it yourself.
Added to the price of the car this would make the cost more than the car is worth. I beg to differ: these are costs of running - as opposed to buying - any motor car. My 745 is effectively valueless but it still costs me 25p per mile to run!
So ... please do not respond merely to state the obvious: you will simply be wasting both your time and mine!
However, if you are seriously interested in a car commensurate with one that might have been offered, back in the day, by a dealer at three years old for little more than scrap value, please contact me without delay. The house has to be cleared and the car will assuredly be scrapped if it remains unsold.
To reiterate: the family would much rather the car went to someone who would appreciate it than see it go for scrap. They can get £160 with no hassle by doing that! Remember, it has done less than 40k - it's got to worth more than that as a source of spares for someone. They're not asking four figures, or even half that, but I can guarantee that if you did offer £500 your bid would be successful! As previously stated, all sensible offers will be considered.
Thank you.
