Hi, Out of interest, how are you getting on with the tyre pressure monitoring? I presume that's the sender on the valve cap? I keep thinking about getting one, but wondered if the weight of the sender caused any problems? Thanks, Steve

No issues at all and great relief after suffering 2 punctures in my last Spyder and on both occasions I heard the problem and was able to get punctures fixed before ruining perfectly good tyres. After those 2 close calls I bought this unit on special offer deal and the monitoring unit plugs into the cigarette lighter socket and the warning sound is so loud no need to leave ashtray open to watch the readout plus after several minutes of no motion the actual readout goes off despite lighter socket being live so no drain on the battery at all http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/61230/steelmate-tp-70-tyre-pressure-monitor

Great to see the cars out being enjoyed. I like in the first shot how you've pulled up in the road where best to take the perfect pic of view and the road ahead [:)]

ORIGINAL: flat6 How much can the OPC's influence the market prices like this? What should private sellers now be asking?
Just knock £6000 off the asking price and you are back to the trade buy in price today add 10% max and that's your top $ private money[&o] You may have to offer OPC warranty & repaint the car to the new white to get a look in [:D][:D]

So out of the current Spyders for sale, what is that roughly? Phil
 
puts the average OPC price at £43,630 for a car with 8.3k miles. with 7 or so Spyders for sale in total, But none with Buckets seats, Spyder wheels and manual and of course every one also wants PSE. So a car like that would be 50k now :) tee hee. With out being too silly a car like that people can ask what they like, it's a choice of pay the price or don't have one, depends who is buying. people try it on with viper green GT3's which are worth £69k but go up at £99k !!! if there is some one out there with 20 Billion it matters not what the price is if they want one. older the car gets the more the market changes ! goint to be tuff selling the 7 cars which are for sale now imo at these 2014 prices.
