Jessopia74 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Spotted on Facebook . picture showing odometer is 22K, but no comments about # owners and Mileage on the advert. History shows mikes was 18.6K miles in 2007, pretty good pass history 2007 - 2015. Cool collector car imho.

starmist Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This time last week when it came up for sale it looked expensive, now after that black GTE sold at auction for £21k it suddenly seems reasonable. It's an ex longterm club members car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 What does it mean in the description when it says "Excellent project" ? What work needs doing i wonder A few weeks ago when this car first appeared for sale several people thought it was overpriced but with prices achieved recently at auctions who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Not much info given on the advert, thought maybe the club might know the owner history of it. @26K it needs to be mint and that 22K genuine IMHO. it's not like it is an i240 after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I would like to know what it needs as it could be a great investment considering the current values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Remember it in the club 15yrs ago, seen it floating about a few years ago, and seen it advertised weeks ago here at KG motorsport, given that manta clocks only go to 100,000, i doubt it being 22k mikes as its a well used car, although saying that well.... do the research! Nice car, it is what it is, there are no others, want it buy it! Got aa early 90s mag with it in it, thats enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Interesting stuff, car has been on some travels for sure, £5500 in 2013 so was a good investment back then if it sells for ~20k Edited February 11, 2021 by Jessopia74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 That reminds me, not gonna say too much but, what is the most waste of a car anyone has seen, the car left rotting away, rather than the owner selling it, with the typical reasons, i will get round to it one day, sentimental reasons, and many others. I know of a very rare manta held together by paint and underseal, been outside for 20 plus years, and a house to fury friends. A shame really. > what a waste! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed mate, see lots of stories where people approach an owner to save a classic, but they refuse to sell it even though they are never or even able to restore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 One of the mysteries of life. It maybe sentimental reasons etc but I would want rid really. be boring if we were all the same.........thankfully we aren’t 😀 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Yeah, looks like the chap who replied in the thread has purchased it, parked next to his other i200. He did say to me that his i200 will be for sale if he purchased another , so can only assume that will be up for more money and the chap will restore thus one. Be interesting 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
