But they want like £25k for it, don't they?

I thought it was virtually a poverty model too? (well as far as poverty models went with Escos's!)

You would have thought that if you were going to store a car like that, you would make it a special edition.

Imagine a Jewel Violet Monte with that history!!

Would never buy any car that had been sitting that long unless it was never to be used

I dont think anyone will buy that car to use surely. Purely a show piece in my opinion. As long as its been stored properly, which im sure GGR have, then I cant see it giving any problems.

Just think, the new owner could triple the mileage on the way home!!!

Anyone who buys that car to use it WILL lose money on it though. Im sure some rich guy will buy it for well over £20k and store it. I know I would if I had the money going spare.

I thought it was just the motorsport models that had manual windows. What else wont it have then? Looks like no sunroof and no opening rears either. Still if I was after a show car like that, I dont think that would be an issue for me.

so the things its missing is the things that are likely to break anyway
how much you think you would lose if you were to buy this car and use it as an evryday car for a few years then sell as still a mint condition car with 20k miles im sure you wouldnt lose more than you would on a new evo or scooby or any other new car.i know it aint excactly a new car but im sure GGD have kept the thing properly stored and looked after
