Smile 780 Feedback?

HI all, I am due to view a 780 which has been off the road for a number of years. I was wondering if there are any other 780`s out there in the UK?, on the road or on sorn. Interested to hear any response, thanks for reading.

I have a 780, bought it in the Netherlands in late 2018. I think there are three in the UK currently. What spec is the one you are looking at ?

Thanks for your reply, so far I know its a 4 cylinder 2.3 turbo Auto, imported from the USA. Dont know any other spec at this stage, I believe its been off the road for at least 5 years. Struggling to know what sort of value it holds in this condition, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Google search 'How many left' and enter details to see what is on the road and sorn.

0 last time I looked about 6 months ago - which was odd as there were three as far as I was concerned. Update, still nothing listed under 780 or Coupe.

They are difficult to value consistently. Condition is everything as they can be expensive to sort out. You can pick up cheap cars for $2-3K, there is a low mileage one for sale for $53K at the moment
