Default Awesome Spec V3 TYPE-R, but surely it,ll not fetch this much???



As said, i,ve seen this car a few times, but surely that price tag is VERY optimistic??

10k would be more like it yes but very opitmistic, some people think you get your money back from modifying a car, it doesnt get anything back really, and where has the 72k gone? most people can do that for 30k....

Oh dear someones living in cuckoo land... and he's spent 72k?

I think to put things into perspective Terry B had his time attack Type R up for sale not long back for a fraction of this guys asking price.

Well if you had the money and wanted 'the finished article' without going through the whole modifying process yourself its one hell of a spec

Lovely car.......but if I was looking to spend 50k on a car it would be

Noble : M400 2005

and use rest for a sensible daily driver.

Good luck to him but Id be very surprised to see someone spend 50k

£50k.... No wonder the number plate is G 55 SUS (JESUS)!!!

Not into the fact that in Pic number 9 there is no wiper on the rear wiper arm. Scratch anyone?

Would rather have a MINT 22B... But hey! That won't be happening anytime soon!

Was thinking the same as regards the injectors.

As for the exhuast comment - 'can be heard from three miles away'.

Who wants to be heard coming from that far?

Best of luck to him but there is no way on earth would I pay £50k for a classic Scoob, no matter what the spec. It would have to be the Gobstopper for that money and I fear if that were to ever be sold it would go for more than that.

£50k can get you a serious motor.

Even with that spec £50k is a tad optimistic I would be very suprised if he got offers any where near that.

spot on mate

terrys was running around the 600-620 mark and was up for sale for 18k which i thought was a decent price.

50k is way off.
ps
