wow, cant imagine how you could ever want to sell such a beautiful car
price would depend on finding the right buyer as its such a unique car, would see it definatly fetching at least £3500-£4000 and probably more
id keep an eye on how much this car goes for, as its fairly similar

I personally don;t want to sell it but I'm using my car a lot more and don't want to ruin it after all the hard work so it seems the right option to sell it and go over to a diesel car.
Will keep a look at at that ebay link, see how much that goes for will give me a rough idea of how much to sell it for as and when

Nice looking car, looks tidy and well done, nice spec. I'd have advertised it at £3500 and taken about the £3.2-£3.4 mark for it.
