I bough the 23k mile S2 off Gary Jones, and although it doesn't have a "full paperwork" history as such, it is/was well a known car in the RSOC and concourse scene up to 2009/10 and had two well known owners in RS circles.

It is MINT, the seats and interior are perfect, the bodywork is lovely, the engine bay is completely standard, it has a stamped service book etc etc etc.

Why would someone pay £12k, £10 or even £6k for this, when KGF can source a fully documented one for that sort of money.

The reason nobody's viewed it, is because (for me) firstly, it's another trader trying to make a fast buck, and, it's not a particularly nice car.

You say at £6.5k you'd make a loss, meaning you must have £7k in it, I would hate to think I had £7k in that car (even in a private sale) I think you should bite the bullet and cut your losses, as nobody's going to pay anywhere near double figures, as a starter I'd want a pair of spotlights.

Sorry to sound so negative, but I think I'm talking for lots of people, it's a shit car, at an over inflated price.
