The following advert appeared in the last few days:
Low Mileage GT Turbo for Sale
Does this belong to anyone here or anyone know anything about it ?
Steven
PS Apparently will feature in performance french car magazine next month which come's out on March 13th.
I know something about it - its about 5k over-pricedOriginally Posted by G801CVT
16000 miles, in a gargage for that many years, and still rust.
I know something about it - its about 5k over-priced
lol yeh i thought that when i seen that as well
howw much reallyyysurely it carnt be worth that much.. c'mon?
£10000 and its got rust starting to appear! I'd want it totally mint for that price
It is a nice looking car don't get me wrong, but not quite worth the price.
Hmm, only in Sussex, may be worth checking out.... not that i'd EVER pay 10k for a GT turbo, no matter how many miles or how mint it was... unless of course one had like 10 miles & been in a bubble somewhere... even then...
mine has no rust at all.... yours for £9999.99 if ya want it lol
exactly, a car with rust is worth sh1t all like mine is.. low miles arent worth a wnk without a totally solid shell and tip top paint..
£10,000 for a GTT?! -------> FAIL!
You could buy my car for half that price!!
Erm maybe not, never sellin that puppy!
10,000 wtf
i see in your profile yours has done less miles than the one for sale
Yeah he bought the other & i have to say mintierTungy 5 a few months ago
Quite true and yes that was the reason for the message.
Would be interested to have learned a little more about the owner and more importantly the car - in particular the point in the advert about rust coming through.
We'll see.........
Steven
im sure i read somewhere that the original sale price of the gtt was around 7k..? maybe wrong thoughid never pay over 3k MAX for a concours gtt
yeah, but your tightness is becoming legendary....
Oh yeah?yeah, but your tightness is becoming legendary....
Actually I work with a guy who's mates with the owner, apparently he's been offered near enough 10k for it, but he swore up and down it had only done 1700, not 17,000 miles, so I'm a bit confused by the advert
Oh, it's gonna be in one of the french car mags this/next month, will be more info there!
Well I have now heard direct via email from the owner - the car has done 17000 (16000 was quoted in the advertisement) according to the picture that I have.Actually I work with a guy who's mates with the owner, apparently he's been offered near enough 10k for it, but he swore up and down it had only done 1700, not 17,000 miles, so I'm a bit confused by the advert

The car is indeed very nice but appears (from the pictures) to have some rust just starting in the base of the door shuts which I think rules it out for my purposes. I have yet to hear confirmation back from the owner on this however.
The worth / price of any car at this age is difficult to judge - in my view a car which has been stored for all but 20 years and looked after as well as this looks to have been (I have not spoken directly to the owner and nor have I seen the actual vehicle) is worth whatever anyone is prepared to pay for it.
Just my opinion.
Steven
I have to agree, there are collectors out there, if some rich bloke see's the car and likes it, then fair play.
But i know i would never spend anywhere near that kind of money on a 2nd/toy car etc... Unless its good condition T2 or something of the sort.
I could make a Cup car road legal.. they have 1k on the clocks(sometimes less)... if you spent a bit on the bodywork you could make it a very nice/mint shell (providing its had no major knocks) would that make a 5 worth £10k?
I very much doubt it...
I think that what you have said in general is true but ....
No-one can 'recreate' something original - it can only be acquired - and then often only after a great deal of searching and often much investigation.
That is what potentially makes proven original low mileage cars (of any marque) unusual if not unique (read 'less common') and it is that distinction that attracts a premium.
Steven
blow me .... actualy dont... coulnt give a monkey if it was 10k end of the day its a gt turbo, let us not loose sight
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
I paid £8700 for my Raider back in 1990, 1 month old and around 1000 miles on the clock, new price was around £10500, 19 years later i still drive it every day and still love it, but £10000 now for an unknown car- i dont think so!
mines got 63k on and no rust anywhere, all genuine and i paid 1700 last year
you've had the same 5 for 19years
myn has no rust lol yours for 8k haha unless u wanna spend another 2k on one with rust
