Looks a beauty. However I've seen it for sale on and off for what must be a year now. Can anyone tell me why it's not sold as it looks stunning.

PM me if you would rather.

Cheers

Servicing looks patchy and price is high for a cab!

The owner posts on here so will probably be along at some point but as to why it hasn't sold who knows? It's top, top price for a cab but then it is low mileage (& unrelated but he always has some lovely plates for sale in the Sunday Times as well).

At a guess I'd say it's probably because he's firm on his price & people generally want to barter on these things, but really who knows?

Not suggesting anything untoward but I looked at a similar mileage coupe that was for sale last year & it was in pretty poor shape, so low mileage is absolutely no guarantee on these cars of condition-they still rust the same, they still smoke the same.

As a comparison, this sold within weeks last summer, read it & weep:

How gorgeous is that?! It looks simply perfect with the speedster front end & the flat lid, I was away on holiday so I missed it but what a lovely thing that would have been for your summer hols!

That does indeed look gorgeous! £102k for the plate. The seller must be making a mint with his plates. Says no offers so that's probably the reason for the car not selling. Think you're right.

I know the car in question more than anybody could!
I have owned and sold it twice check out my profile, nearly bought it back again last year.
All i will say is the price is firm, but too high IMO.

Anyone want to know more drop me a line.

Thanks Crimp.
