I seem to remember a thread a while ago asking about this car.

Just shows you how fast these cars are appreciating. I saw the advert last night after it had been on for 6 hours and it was 30k. Today it's a snip at 35k. Also, Strasse have a red one for sale. Could this be the car everyone was talking about last week?

Strasse had a Rubystone car at <£40k.
There was a Guards Red car on PH at £30k which took some stick and sold very quickly --- and there's now a white one taking some stick.
I'll not comment on the who's and why's --- but I personally think it is extremely bad behaviour.

I'm sick of the trial by forum. If your genuinely interested go and look at the thing and get it PROPERLY checked out. Rather than listen to internet chatter.
I read the PistonHeads assasination of this car .. .... I must receive about 10 calls/emails a week from mainly buyers and sellers asking about cars and sometimes specific cars which normally I know .... However my advice is always SEE IT and get it professionally inspected and warning all buyers there are (hardly) no virgins, but you pays your money from Track Hack to Garage Queen which now has a very honest spread of say £30,000 - £60,000 for a LHD Lwt and noticeably the last three so called cheapies all gone to dealers circa £30,000 and guess what they will sell them for more.....

Now that's c'l'ass !
What I don't understand is why the trade are falling over themselves to buy these cars (and I am trade!) [&:]
I didn't see any of them in person, but none of them appeared to be good enough for me to feel comfortable offering them for sale at good money. The prices that the dealers in question paid for them is probably the most they are worth in my opinion.
Surely the rubystone Gmund car proves that anything other than very good cars are tough to sell.
Nice photo by the way Des []

What we are seeing is that cars which we may consider are not "Top Notch" are selling OK. The trade know there are a limited number out there. They will just wait for a bit of profit if necessary, and have the advantage that the really good cars are going up steadily.
The famous '73 RS has been through the same cycle in the 80's 90's 00's (at least 3 times?) in its life.
Today no-one worries if it has been grit blasted, Patch repaired, retrimmed, updated or back dated, fitted with a new engine or gearbox, end over ended, ITS A 73 RS they say - £100k plus.
So the market is changing, and generally it does not change back - ever.

I think this whole thing of "trial by internet" is fraught with problems. Forget the trade situation for a minute and consider this. If a car is for sale and, for whatever reason, innocent or otherwise, the history of the car was not being disclosed, what should we do? It seems the obvious thing is to PM the person showing interest in the car, but that only warns one person. How would you feel if a week later a friend drives up in said car having just bought it? He had seen mention of it on the net and as nobody had said anything bad, he bought it. now, the friend should have been more careful but he/she is still a friend and becasue you didn't post anything, he bought a dud! So, instead you post a warning and you get crucified for doing so. However, if there was full disclosure by the owner, this problem would never come up.
I am noy sure what to make about the trade involvement in such issues. On one hand, they are passing on specialist knowledge, on the other it seems they are doing so for their won gains.

Simon, but they (traders) do have to live, and if we wanted to buy the car we have equal freedom to do so. I bought my car from a specialist and he was very professional.
The bottom line is the car is for sale to anyone who is interested, and while I dont think it is right for a trader to offer a bad example that is full of filler with the rings gone as Immaculate, the car is the car.
If we see an example of the above we should flag it, its wrong. Thats the power of the net.
Most specialists would not do it as reputation is everything to them, some might in ignorance - you know specialists are sometimes none too specialist, but there could be private owners who might do it too.
