You guys are funny. I like how a front end respray once every trip to the moon is equated to a ‘blow over every 10k miles’ and ‘every other service’.

Also, that’s a GT3. I’m pretty certain it’s not 180,000 motorway miles. :lol:

The first owner did 149k in it across Europe, and more in a 996 GT3 before that. His usage is well known. It didn’t do 150k track miles 😄

My real concern would be that someone that runs up that kind of mileage without getting a partial respray is clearly not one to spend money where it can be avoided.
That’s a benefit to me, the cat doesn’t look like it has anything to hide and also if you are doing that kind of mileage, why bother with a front end respray when months later you have put another 10,000 miles on it ?

It’s like a mini RC car 8-)

One of those ‘missed the boat’ cars, like the Z3MC. (in terms of £££)

Will be interesting to see how much it will go for. 30-40k mile 997 gt3s are £65k upwards.

This will need 10-15k worth of engine rebuild and 5-7k worth of paint in the next few years (well, it needs the paint now) That's a net £45k ish car skirting around the issue of whether you'd ever be able to sell it. On that basis I'd pay sub £40k but I'm sure people will bid higher.
£5k of paint? What are you painting it with?

Alas, no - mine (Y557 ACL) went to France back in 2010 and I doubt it ever returned.

That one misses the perspex rear cover (never liked the Motorsport one) and the body coloured wing uprights look wrong. But S/Charged Honda? I bet that shifts a bit. 8-)

Ohhhh, s/c, I didn’t looked at all the photos.

A 190bhp K-series or 220bhp K20 would be plenty for me.

The auctions seem very hit and miss, a cayenne I had my eye on as it was local, just went for about 3k more than a car a dealer, great for the seller...

An exige V6 went a week while ago and it was ridiculously cheap as well. Maybe it’s the time of the year-
Or the true value!?

Now at a dealer for £47k, a gentle 15% mark up.

Same dealer bought the Noble from CC as well. 38% mark up!

That Evora is back up for sale for £50k

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2016-66-Reg- ... 890.l49292

"FLSH" except it was last services in July 2018....so...no.

The market is pretty quiet at the moment. I've been looking at Elise and Exige and there's not a great deal out there....not even a single Roadster on the market. Not really a great time to be poking around showrooms though, is it?

My idea spec would be smoke silver manual, but I don’t think autos are bad.
