Barn Find ? 31k Trophy on EBay
- Thread starter mossyv6
- Start date
Lower miles, better condition Trophy is up for £23k currently. As above 12-15k, anymore and the bidder is mugging themselves off.
Needs the Sachs shocks rebuilt, belts and dephaser, tyres, headlight resto, full detail and anything else that pops up.
Little confusing why a new heater control is included, and I very much hope that cheap pattern exhaust isn't used.

I wonder how many of these so called finds are the ones that got heavily damaged when they were only a year or two old?
One event at Cadwell three got trashed & I know of several that were solely used for track day, one owner low mileage

Whoever buys it won’t care. It won’t get driven. My bet is it will get snapped up by one of the specialists, get recommissioned and then sold for big bucks to a collector who will put it in their garage and forget about it.
I’d buy it for £13k. I think it will need at least £4K spending on it to get it ‘right’ and then it’s a £25,000 car.
take your £2,500 vat out, then your £4K, then your collection costs and sundries and you might clear £5k profit. That’s a s**t load of work just to earn £5k.
Sadly, not everyone does things properly and it will probably have a hash of a cambelt, a shitty headlight refurb and then smeared with buffer trails and punted on to some victim. But I hope not. It needs doing properly, it could be a really special car.

The seats are so shite i’m unsure the poor c***s still paying four figures for them have ever actually sat in the b******s.
It’s epic it’s got to this price within a day.
Anyone managed to get a response from the seller of the car yet on eBay? Trying to understand if it’s their car they’re selling as it would be great to understand the history etc..
From knowing what I know, they're genuine bids!
Better?

182
Seller bought it 4 years ago and its sat in his friends unit since and hasnt turned a wheel in those 4 years. His friend is now moving units and he has got the car back and decided to cash in. There is just the 1st original owner on the logbook the seller never changed ownership to his name when he bought it.
I think it will do 17-19k.
for me, this is the wrong way to go. Why people dont just keep them ticking over and mot’d every year is beyond me. It is way more appealing to see an annual mot since new. As mentioned above, something missing mot’s for years just rings alarm bells.
my 182 sits in my garage and gets taken out every week or so just to keep everything running. It only covered 300 miles last year but its still serviced as it should be and mot’d every year.
