    Greenlight - No more agreed valuations

    Yes but they don't seem to realise that the Trophy is a different value to a 182, and a lot of ins co,s only pay out on the 182 values... Last time I looked there were only 4-5 cars for sale... And unfortunately not at £8K / 115K milers.

To get "top" money, itl need to be mint... ie front splitter fitted, steering wheel sorted, [it looks a bit melted ], decent , reasonable age tyres, etc etc...[ That's from what I can see with the limited pics]...
