I'm in the somewhat criminal position of having two coupes sat on drives and in garages and literally now sorned an with zero use...

(I commute and have a modified 911, Cayenne and Range also) - though none have the unique character of the coupes...

One (silver) was featured in Auto Italia and Joe/Countrycruising knows it well and switched the clutch, engine, box a few hundred miles ago but it has white smoke and a dented bonnet but has loads of toys, unique wheels (direct fit) lowered, good turbo and custom exhaust etc.

The other is a well over 300BHP flea mapped (live) sprinty with a GT28RS - only issue is the dreaded lacquer peel has started. A lot of custom parts inc expensive forged aluminium FMIC and rad etc...

I have a horrible feeling that the silver one may be a breaker - albeit with a lot of good bits - even the engione is powder coated.

The sprinty I have no idea what it would be worth - its currently living in a garage - but I'm not sure what the market is like.

Nismo an Marco s well as Flea know the car too -Marco did about £2k of work on it before it hit the garage.

Any thoughts or should I just put a couple of posts in the for sale section with rough prices and as most detail as I can?

Tough one. Looking at the other three cars I doubt you need to sell, so put them up at a price you'd be happy to part with them for. If they sell great, but if not you're no worse off.

Any which way it'll be a difficult sell as you'll need someone who appreciates the car.

Zero need to sell or get the cash but even with the silver one it would most likely be someone who wants to break it and double up on the easy parts and keep the rest for another sales... The blue one is a great car but just doesn't get driven - I commute so some weeks don't drive at all and insuring 4 cars is crazy...
