Chrise, where are they all coming from?
There is another G4 up for sale now at Paul Stephens (on the classifieds here too). Not showing the registration so not sure who's car this is? Has there ever been so many for sale in such a short time?

What is with that rear exiting exhaust ...god that looks awful and looks like the rear suspension has been raised for it. Says the exhaust needs quietning, well that's hardly the way to go about it.

And what is it with the selling price (quite good!) of £12,995 'Inspected'
but needing another grand £13,995 for it to be 'Approved'?
Anyone explain to me please? As it is one of their prev cars, surely it doesn't need approval?

ahh, I see, ok so 'inspected' means they just identify the faults and point them out to you, 'approved' means they fix 'em and charge you another grand.

Obviously, by that yardstick, it has faults then!!

One thing for sure, it's gonna make the Paul Matty one even harder to sell at nearly £17k, with G4s coming up sub 14k.

I just been told that 'dealers' are not supposed to sell vehicles with 'known faults'. Is this true?

This G4 was smoking badly when the guy at PS collected it as he posted a question regarding why it was smoking on the Westfield club forum (he is a former Westie owner) - it turned out to be an overfilled dry sump tank apparently and has now been sorted...

Oh yes! Too obvious for me
I bet it isn't, though. Can anyone confirm?

The Paul Stephens car has already gone. That when within hours of being on the forsale section. Sadly it is not a long cockpit version otherwise I would have jumped at it. (But it was already sold by the time I spotted it)

The Paul Matty advert now states that it is sold. I wonder if it has gone to Auction again?

I was thinking that about the Matty one! Who would pay 17k when similar one was on sale in the ad next to it for 3k less?
Wonder if all these G4s have gone abroad?

Not sure if Geeman's G4 has actually sold though. Says 'probably sold' in other ad. I expect that is because the prospective buyer is overseas and problems with import?

I like the G15 (one that was on Top Gear - and also the cheaper 8k!! one) but I promised myself I was done with Imp motors. Just as well seller of Top Gear one wants 10k plus or I might have been tempted.
Do love high revving Imp engines.
