The good news is he's probably run away and won't be back! The b ad news is some unfortunate is going to think it's a 'RARE' one and pass the readies over......then.....they will come on here and suddenly realise they've been had!!!
It's also a known fact that PH often take the credit for sold vehicles......though they've gone through ebay!!! I have seen 3 that that has happened too. So, you have to realise PH make limited sales compared to what they are actually saying!

Front N/S wing looks slightly darker on my screen, may have been resprayed or replaced perhaps?

Auto examples tend not to bring the top end of £1700 to 2000 when mint...might do for a manual at very low miles and all original perhaps...

You will need all the best of luck, a strong following wind, and a buyer who has been frozen since 1999....and all the other 850Rs to have been scrapped to get that much.

Tell you what, I have a rare 1982 Sinclair Spectrum 48k with original "dead flesh" keyboard, will do you a straight swap...and I'll throw in a few games!

Yea, that wing does look a slightly different shade. Could be the light though. That car does look good, but 6 and a half big ones? Hhhmmm.

I think this car was on eBay the other week and reached...£1650! Reserve not met.

He did well to get that much on the bidding to be honest.
Still, looks a nice car, maybe worth £6000 in 15-20 years time eh?

Will stick with my "bargain basement" 1996 850 CD for a few years yet.
