This is strong money for one of these, but as Henry Royce once said, 'The quality remains long after the price is forgotten.'. The OP has assessed it's worth and who are we to question it?

At the other end of the spectrum, I recently bought a near identical car, albeit in nowhere near as fine condition as this one, for £550. That is sound, passed it's MOT the other day and is ideal for the tip run, etc. If I wanted this particular car, the price would be no barrier. You pay your money and take your choice.

Regards, John.

He can set the price at whatever he chooses as it's his car. It's best to set it too high and then come down than set it too low and end up with less then you want.

If the price was £2500 I would bite his hand off!

bear in mind a full detail to get the paint looking as good is around £400 alone, and look and the pristine condition of the coolant etc, no doubt most of the maintenance is already done for you etc.. obv a little room for negotiation in price

Your right Andy, this is a fantastic example of this model. I wish I could afford to add another one to my fleet, but I can't.

See you soon mate!

Price reviewed - upwards, downwards, or just sat in pub and talked about it ?
Leeping the price a "secret" isnt getting you much interest.
Open up, tell us, we love a larf

This car is now priced at £1800 but is open to offers.

Any sensible offers welcome.

The car is now in Kesgrave, Suffolk.

It was Robs request it be sold to a club member I have a buyer but I would prefer to sell it to someone who will look after it the way Rob did.

I'll be at the northern BKV at the weekend if anyone would like a chat about it.

Thanks again.

The MOT expired 3rd May '17 - guessing it'd pass easy enough though !
Looks lovely.......
