I saw the car at RRG. Looked tidy, although the wheels aren't my sort of thing.

I know of someone looking for a 744 Turbo, but he'd want it without the wheels. You'd still have them to sell, to make up the difference. If you'd consider that, I'll put you in touch. If not...good luck with the sale.

Regardless, I think you should seriously consider offering it without the wheels, as it's going to put a lot of people off buying it. It's a lot of extra money, and they won't be to everyone's taste. If it were mine, and I was serious about getting some money back from it, I'd split it from the wheels.

Finally, an 850 shouldn't be a lot more economical than a 7/900. That's certainly been the opposite of my experience, pound for pound (all being manuals - automatic 7/9s will be much worse!). My 744TI (rolled 300bhp) did 25-30mpg on a decent run, which is all my P1 V70R did.

cheers
