Is there anything wrong with buying a cos worth that was built from parts like this one? Its an R reg but has the large turbo engine. Would there be re-sale problems? etc. I think this is the one that was at jct 28.

is that the one thats a 2000 according to the ad?

 

think so would be a good car but if its the same 1 im thinking of the paint was'nt the best round the back end. Might be a bugger to sell on

 

think it would be hard to pass on.

not really selling now is it.

 

Although being a build-up doesnt actually make it a 'bad' car (provided its been done properly), its always going to put the majority of people off in my opinion.

I personally wouldnt buy one, or even a genuine motorsport one at that, but thats just me.

That particular one is well overpriced too in my opinion, even if it is in pretty good condition.

 

i wouldnt

 

Ive got a R reg lux and its mint with 27,000 on the clock but im not bothered cos ive got no intensions on ever getting rid of it plus mine was built by prodrive but that 1 for sale on ebay cant be a r reg as it is a 2000 car and r reg's are 1997 so it must be a private plate

 

milkman, get some pics up of yours?

 

Here you go

 

if you look at the fifth picture on e-bay of all the documents he's got, the servise manual clearly shows a jtn 28 stamp, as for reg, it states in the blurb about the car that it is a private plate included in the sale, hense R reg. Hope that helps.

 

Paul, you ready to start looking again? If you remember that r regd one at J28 was a dog, bits missing bad paint ,plus it was overpriced. Steve

 

Milkman,

think it would look better with the later mirrors on your car.

all imo of course.

 

Dave it's based on a big turbo model so its got the old cam cover, turbo, mirrors ect

 

think it will still suit it though as people will notice the r reg.

got some ready to go on mine and i think the look really good.

 

been on loads of times that .....he cant get rid

 

I thought about doing that, but lots told me not to, as you can see more with the bigger mirrors on track

 

yes you can see more through the early mirrors Lynne.

but still look better.
