Northy - Do you you want me to did on it for you HaHa

I‘ll definitely say it won’t sell tomorrow and funnier things have happened at sea

I’m with you on that one, no way will it sell through BCA at that reserve, no private man brave enough to step into that arena and nothing in it for any dealer knowledgeable enough to know what the car’s about

I’ve been told they are stopping delivering the GR’s and then re-launching it with a 6k up lift.

I`ve actually seen one being driven on the road, but most seem to be parked on Ebay @ £38k with 5 miles. !!

Trotted it on to £14700 provisional - I’ll bet it had no bid but I’ll find out on Monday

What did they used to call it “off the wall”?

Yep your right Ashton - it’s really odd now disposing our trade cars when your stood on a rostrum with no crowd / Buyers in the Auction hall

This was Scarriboy off of here
Number 327

It’s needing some attention before anyone wants to own it.

No sachs fitted
Alloys need refurbed
Belts due
Steering wheel needed done
Exhaust needed replaced
Climate panel was a mess

He ended up selling it to WBAC who had initially offered him 6. Then changed to 9 a week later.
They knocked him down to 8 and this is their markup it would seem.

I wish I’d pulled the trigger and bought it then done what needed doing.

Morning Guys - I've just spoken to BCA and he confirmed to me there was no bid on Saturday.

NickReilly063 · Nov 22, 2021

Thanks Michael for your post above - at 8k I'd say it was good value for a 57k - 3 owner car even without the Sach's

Thanks Again

Nick

Ah damn I messaged him on the forum to buy it. I’d ha e given that for it

The way things are going it probably was. It was needing another 5k spent on it tho so £13k + your time to get it back up to scratch.

Hindsight eh.

Shame one of you Guys didn't get hold of it before it went to WBAC

For sure. I was tempted but when he sent me a screenshot of the 9k offer there is no way I could compete.

So will they just put it up again for auction?

Needs a lot of work and money to get it right. It’s a brave buyer who would pay £9k for it knowing they have to start with sourcing a set of decent sachs

Could just stick a set of b14s on it

Maybe I’m an old git.
From past experience of the alternatives a new set of cup dampers is an excellent short term replacement for a freshly refurbished set of Sachs.

Back in tonight Guys @ 5PM - I'll keep you posted

Unless they start it off at somewhere near what they paid I'm sorry to say it will miss again today.

NickReilly063 · Nov 23, 2021

Run the car today up to £14150 - still no bid.
