Didn't seem too long ago that these were worth no more than scrap.

I've certainly seen a lot better than this in scrap yards over the years.

 

Going to hold on to mine a bit longer and use it to pay the mortgage off.

I suspect it needs quite a bit more than "just" a respray but it could be better than it looks !

Doubt it. He's only sold 7 items on ebay and got 2 bad feedback already!

best apart from the wonky lights,knackered spots, dinks along the doors...

 

horrible exhaust

 

missing rear wash nozzle

 

faded rear badges..

 

and whatever else eagle eyed readers might spot

[Telf 224 2 Cars]

oh and a weird gap between rear bumper and boot!

'Runway' tyres...

 

Apparently it has an electric sunroof.

 

"THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST ARRIVED AND IS UNDERGOING PREPARATION"

 

Someone should ask them if that will include aligning the shut gaps front and rear.

Mate the price of that mines worth 12k easy.....

[steve@cornwall 100]

Wrong inlet, badly routed engine loom, bonnet release cable and expansion pipe. Fse valve and if I'm not mistaken a mix of pH 1.5 and 2 front wings (count the wing top bolts); so likely engine transplant, respray and poor frontal repair. So that's what mine would look like with a good valet and a coat of paint!

My boot/bumper gap is exactly the same as that following a towing FUBAR.

I can't help but question why on earth AMS thought posting those "pre-preparation" photos was a good idea? Whilst I'm sure that it'll sell easily enough anyway given the current market for standard low mileage examples, you'd think that given most of those issues are comparatively easily and cheaply remedied (or vastly improved), you'd at least sort the obvious bits before risking putting off would-be buyers with the pictures showing it as.

 

Rear beam looks goosed too - note the camber on the OSR wheel.

 

The MOT history makes for interesting reading - the mileage tallies up, but it really doesn't strike me as a loved, cared for example with loads of failures registered over the years. Nothing serious failure wise admittedly, but still, hardly supporting evidence for a "best available" claim.

[Telf 224 2 Cars]

It's beyond me the prices at the moment. I paid £1600 5 years ago for mine. It was high mileage at 217k but pulled like a train and was in pretty good condition. I probably paid over the odds-I dunno. Fast forward to now it has 254k on the clock. It's stripped and under going a fairly extensive tidy up- but not a restoration as then it loses its credibility in my opinion. So it's a little knocked about and not perfect but very tidy. I wouldn't value it at anything more than £4000 to £5000. I just don't get how anybody would pay 8 or 9 grand for a standard car.

[jackherer 543]

I didn't consider the beam but now you mention it the offside negative camber is massive and actually the nearside almost looks positive in more than one pic.

 

And if that lot isn't enough the front number plate is too high
