Been up for sale for quite some time Andy... Was at a dealer in Manchester for a couple of years with blue Vinyl Stripes, I considered it as an option just before I found mine, they offered it to me about £7k below the price they were advertising, the car eventually sold to a second dealer and has been for sale with them since early this year at a lower price, around £22k if memory serves me correctly. They took the decision mid year to remove the stripes, the car has been for sale both on Pistonheads and Autotrader on and off for quite some time. It has been on ebay a couple of times too but at a higher price. It has been the subject of a couple of other threads throughout the year, I'll try and find it for you...

There's some more info on this thread, we had a guy on here a while back who was considering a Viper and had seen it for sale. Haven't heard from him in a while, so assume unfortunately he decided against buying one...

Here's it's current Pistonheads ad:

And current dealer website:

The ebay ad's comments regarding ownership appear rather misleading...

original tyres, those must be harder than coffin nails !

Thanks for the info.

Have a friend that might be interested, and was just wondering if it was known here, you know, accident history, and other bad stories. But apart from it being stood for a while, all looks well ?

From what I have heard it was in immaculate condition... No hard top, but everything else in place. Low mileage, and had been at Bauer Millett in Manchester for a number of years.

Take a look at the pics in the thread above, they give a much better impression of the car.

I've just seen the Autosport thread with link to this topic from RT/10Dave. I looked into this car quite a lot, checked the Vin against the Vin number checker but didn't go as far as a Carfax on it. It seems really genuine. I never went to see it as I decided against an RT/10 as I find the GTS's much more appealing so decided to save up for a bit. I don't think this one has the log book with it if that is a problem - might be worth checking?

Dave - I'm still out there, just a bit short of the required £££ for a GTS!!
