I really fancied it, iv'e spoken to him & offered £4800 by bank transfer, no viewings no moaning i'd just pay and have it collected same day. I've seen the car a few years ago and I have a use for it so I can justify paying that for it but it is mad money agreed.
It isn't mine though, so clearly that's no enough. I'd say i'm against a fantasist at that who ain't going to pay up.

There's a much cheaper white 20v here (not really white though mr_tickle, you'll have to spray the dash strip and engine compartment too don't forget...)

I put the stuff i don't need into a skip. Ill never need 30 front wiper motors, or 50 sets of rear lights, nor do I need the ebay loonies wanting "cash-price-deals"

Great project for the right person if the price levels out! Who has actually seen a genuine "Lesser Spotted Peal Coupe" in the flesh!? In the UK?

is this an imported car then, with references to the certificate of conformity and the belief / truth that the Pearl White was never a UK market car. I wholly agree that this is an intriguing auction, as work required AND high mileage notwithstanding, "find another like it".

Yes slightly confused as to how it appears to be a genuine RHD factory car but in Pearl White and registered here? Mechanics aside it looks great. Always said they should definately have added Pearl White as a 6th LE colour.....

It will be interesting to see what happens with this one. Exciting now, rarer than any other colour and it's a Plus ... but at auction end reality hits for the winning bidder.
Paint will be needed, look at the front lips, indicative of the bumper and probably bonnet, who knows what else will be needed after all those miles. Engine rebuilt or replaced. Rust areas treated and looked into. Other parts worn out not yet replaced after 217,000 miles. Oil cooler condition? Bet the rear subframe aint too well. Pipework in engine bay? It all adds up pretty quickly...... Then reality kicks ..... How much did I pay for this? How much must I pay out? I mean, if it's one of a very few, you can't just skip over the issues or why buy it in the first place for such a high price? You'll be doing it right ..... Right??
I bet it will need a complete respray as matching that paint after all those years will be tough, especially being white based - An easy £3000.00 plus, you can't leave it as is! And this is the final part of making her good again......
You'll be spending a few hundred on transport costs seconds after buying unless you live next door....
Buyer beware and all that!
We'll see......
