I'm trying to figure out how it's totally unique with a generic body kit and standard interior

That's what I thought too.
The whole thing is somewhere between 'too much' and 'not enough' - if that makes sense!

I see this car frequently, last time I saw it it was in a ditch (hence the 'custom' colour). It hasn't been very well looked after imo, I've seen the guy well and truly thrashing the bo****ks off it.

Yeah, he threw money at it like you wouldn't believe. I can't remember if it was silver or white, that sort of colour anyways. He went off the A142 and ripped his front bumper off and dented all along the o/s door. . Must admit though, he has done a good job of it.

Think a damn sight closer to unique than common though.

Think the smallest touch than someone makes to a car makes it a 1 off. Not really up to anyone else to call it common.

I never like it when they put a reserve on it.
Why not just put the reserve as the opening bid, at least you know what their hoping for.
Some times people are just " testing the water " to see what it's worth.

I like it, saw it on there the other day. IMHO all it needs is some nice wide spacers to bring the rims in line with the arches and it's a damn fine looking coupe.

If it was fitted with the new bits....if so,makes it a whole new ball game

I think that's mainly what puts me off....do that and I possibly could live with it.think front bumper makes it look worse with inset wheels

It's a good looking mota, just needs £100 odd spending on spacers and the outside would be done

I'd use it as a starting project.
He's done the engine, I would take the wing off
Then start work on it, because I do like the overall look of it.

I like it. Mainly because it's white and white coupes are beeeeeaauuuutiful :) not as good as red ones obviously ;)
By yeah that wing needs to go in the bin :)

I can't understand why he hasn't put spacers on....

Yeah that's the first thing you notice.
Unless he hadn't got round to fitting them :think:

At first, I saw the 117748 miles on the clock and thought, "[Flying one], this must be a good V6." Then I scrolled and read:
Engine rebuild at 98,000 miles, new flywheel + clutch.
Which was followed by a large aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Then I closed the page because, frankly, it looks like piss.
