I normally think people are silly who want top money for modified cars as they don't normally anywhere near that, but Frayz yours is one that deserves to go for that much. So much thought and care gone in to it, I doubt theres many better Scoobs anywhere in the world.

Thanks for the support guys. Sorry to hear that Steve.

I'm struggling to even begin to write an advert for the car

I may be making assumptions, but I think that you, as a very talented car engineering chap is looking for a new build project and are a bit bored of the scoob as it's pretty much finished and only requires minor tweaking, as you get satisfaction from full on builds perhaps the buzz has gone?

The car is worth every penny mate and I wish you well, but you're not allowed to get rid until I've had a passenger ride

Lol @ Fozzie.

Thanks Iain, although I do love a project. I've other plans at the moment so may not buy another car straight away. I may be interested in a PX depending on the car in question.

Here goes,

Firstly I really have no idea where to begin with talking about selling my car.
I've owned her for the last 8 years of which in that time I've poured my heart and soul into it.
I've reached a time in my life where I want a new direction. I'm a huge car enthusiast and would like a change, maybe even sit on the sideline for a bit?

I have absolutely no reason to sell so am in no rush whatsoever, I may even decide to keep her if nobody offers me a fair price.

No expense spared meticulous build, and built as a package to be a monster, S7 WRC inspired road car, she has her carpets and air conditioning.
She has been fully documented throughout her life and has many custom parts and details. I've put way over £60K into this car and literally thousands of man hours.

Her life is documented here:
https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...ld-thread.html

This car has been maintained regardless of cost and wants for absolutely nothing.

Just love it the way I have/do.

If you're wondering, she sounds like this.


I have literally thousands of photos of his car throughout her life with me and can supply further information to any genuine enquiry.

As said, I do not need to sell her and at the moment purely testing the water if I get the right offer or not.

No tyre kickers
No test pilots

This car is truly unique, there is not another built quite like it. To me it's absolutely priceless and has taken a huge part of my life.

Still don't actually know if I can watch it drive away but will be listening to offers over £25,000

Thank you for reading.

Not an ordinary price but not an ordinary car. I've owned her for 8 years and spent well in excess of £60K. There are lots of cars out there with the power but not finished to what I think is an acceptable standard.
okay, meet u halfway 15K ?

Truly an unique Scooby and at a great price.
You cannot build one like it for the same money.

If you still have it next year Frayz, I'll give you a race

Rex it's a genuine Prodrive S7 item. I'd searched for years and found it by sheer luck on eBay from a guy who didn't know why he had.

Good luck finding one.

And I'm sure I could ship the car to the US if you wanted.

Many thanks for the kind words Darren.

I don't know if I'm going to keep or sell at the moment. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. I'm not exactly pushing a sale right now. If the right money comes along, great.
If not, then she stays

She's been tucked away all winter and less a steering rack as that's having a full rebuild.
Steering rack done, so when the weather warms, ill put that back in and go for another geometry setup.

Other than that, nothing to report on the sleeping bomber

Bomber got a new setup today.
Finally starting to find a setup I like. Ill drive her for a bit and make some tweeks to the dampers, possibly raise the rear ride height slightly. Then maybe a few slight alterations on the day.
Should be fun
