Default (not so) cheap escos on pistonheads(!)

well if its got no escos bits like interior, and the kit is fibreglass and the shell cant legally be sold, and the engine is knackered, you might find even 6K hard to get back, lol

No because the engine is obviously fucked and it isnt worth anywhere near 6k with or without a logbook

mate of mine had a mint motorsport shell on a q plate, car fully trimmed with lux everything, the car was complete driving etc, if it didn't have a q plate on it then it would have done over 10k easy
as it is he struggled to get 6k for it so the i'd realy does make a differance

its soo true, it really must narrow the market you can advertise to as i'd personally never touch a q plate as it just doesn't look right lol
