MANTAMAN Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like the bit in the add - 'generally very solid' yet there are photo's of rot holes and we know if it has gone in these visable places there will be many more holes you can't see ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 So we have a barn find GTE hatch that needs restoration and money spent on it for £1400 starting bids on ebay & we have another identical GTE hatch on ebay that is sorted has an MOT & is £1800 starting bids. I know which one i'd be going for 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Last one I bought like this was 500 needing that work. Worth about 700 now to someone to weld and paint both sides to make good provided it's all there mechanically? Like Dave says, make the 1800one look a cracker. I still need to own one of these again .................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only over the bridge in Cardiff James, you could always sell the hatch & black coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 This one was on a few weeks ago with different photos. The last advert also said some of the interior had suffered squirrel damage... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) That's the same one I asked if it included the eurasian grey squirrels for that money ...and he didn't see the funny side to it! He thinks the one owner makes it valuable but at least he's now seen sence and reduced the start price by a fiver! Looks worse than it did in the listing before mind. I kid you not, a nice chap text me earlier offering his GTE hatch for sale in servicable MOT'd order for £1600.. That recently listed £1800 GTE has been resprayed with partial restoration, near mint interior and MOT.. My Berlinetta was well advertised £1000, full MOT, average/expected rot. So this guy had plenty to compare prices with, total dreamer! Edited February 23, 2014 by Rick-Manta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
