        I would like to see the 3 year old cars he's comparing them to. Must be ex-rental IMO.

        It looks OK but its pretty serious money. Still its his car he can try and sell it for what he wants.

        On a good note, I like the light blue, use to have a Dutton Melos in French racing blue, looked lovely. The Teal Bugatti also polishes up well in French Racing Blue.

          Given the price that our Italian member is looking for, for his O series Roadster, and the current value of the GDP, I would not be surprised if this car finds itself as an Ex-pat.

            This seller is such a chancer!!
            This car sold on eBay for £3000 buy-it-now on 21st November. So he literally added 2 horrendous bits of plastic to the bonnet (that's if they are even attached as they look like they are just placed on) and then DOUBLED the price.

              which is the right cc for the engine 1.8 or 2.0 I would guess 2.0 but the recent listing says 1.8 could be a innocent mistake but if I was selling a car I would make sure the correct cc is stated. The seller is not portrayed in the best light on mad about kit cars he is also trying to sell a moss monaco in bits.

                If you look at the registration information online then you will see it is still registered as a 1.8. However, the 'O' Series came in both 1.7 and 2.0 litre capacities so I am guessing it has had an engine swap at some point and no one has bothered to tell the DVLA.
                The previous owner, who described it as a 2.0 litre is probably correct.

                    £3000 was a bargain, £6k is silly, and I'm sure that those members who have won best in shows in the last couple of years won't be chuffed to see it advertised as "the best" hmmm

                        Wouldn’t mind the 250 superdream but it’s either over priced or seriously gaining value. I had the 400 and sold it for just under £500 nearly 20 years ago, if I still had it would definitely keep it.

                            In the title it says ‘best in UK’.
                            Really?

                              Looking at the jumble of untidy wires in the engine bay and the dirty state of the engine bay If this is the best in the UK mine must be one of the best in the known universe LOL
