Markoramius Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) Ok, i'm gonna bite the bullet, has anyone else seen the blue exclusive 1988, located in Spain on Car and Classic? Its on Spanish plates, but is right hand drive, having been exported there from the UK. Messaged the guy a couple of weeks ago to see if its still available, and it was then. Wants Euros 19,500 for it. Would have to go to Spain to have a look at it i guess, which i'm perfectly willing to do, just wanna know if people on here think he's trying it on? Obviously i'm risking someone else nipping in front of me here, but nothing ventured nothing gained! https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1695890 Edited July 16 by Markoramius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don’t forget as you will be importing the car, there are fees, 5% as it’s over 30years old. So factor that in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It’s a small planet these days so a trip to Spain would be easy, but also essential. I don’t think anyone here will jump in now you’ve declared your intentions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Car was originally UK, maybe original reg can be used? Did you notice front indicator broke, bumper hole, gearstick gaiter missing. Maybe ask for photographs of arches, sunroof, boot floor, engine bay, swan necks, jacking points. It's not alot to ask for given it's value. Maybe ask for restoration photos. But overall looks promising 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markoramius Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Thanks everyone, judging by the lack of outrage i'm guessing this is not thought of as ridiculous money for it? Obviously depends on checking all the points as mentioned. Yeah, i did notice the minus points, and if you can see them from the limited shots he has posted what lies beneath eh? Gonna ask for many more photos and see how i get on. I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it was not and is just SORN all this time😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg w Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Ask for specific photos so you no it’s genuine, if you just get back generic pictures, not a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did what evo03 suggested last night and asked for photos of specific areas, nothing back yet. If you're really trying to sell a car though, you'd put up better pictures than that wouldn't you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be so sure about that, individuals selling cars they own are notoriously crap at selling or preparing to sell. How many cars do you see advertised that need a wash or vacuum, yet not done. That’s why car sales pitches exist. Taft them up and make a good effort to sell lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 True, the amount that just need a vac and a good wipe,maybe a bit of detailing is astonishing. Bit of muck never put me off, same with houses...sometimes hold your nose, I was always told as a lad 'where there's muck there's money' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Good luck with your purchasing. If you need any assistance, advise etc, when you receive the new pics. As said above with a little care and attention, and elbow grease, it takes a car to high end value. Where it should be. But goes shabby looks, overseen broken items say more about the owner or car?

Gonna ask for many more photos and see how i get on. I'll keep you posted. I'd have thought a pretty decent (solid/rust free) Exclusive Coupe would be worth at least £20K today, so it's a pretty good deal with the obvious previso's. The 3 minus points noted are easily sorted. I also noted the LH reversing light looks yellowish compared to the RH one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 When to bonnet and roof are done will be looking at the £15.500 mark .but will have to give it a proper look over as is been in the body shop since early May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markoramius Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 The problem is they are Whatsapp images and videos that i have, and me being not very technologically advanced thought i had it sorted. Obviously not, so i'll try again another way. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Yes can see them, bit of surface corrosion maybe underneath but nothing that can't be easily sorted. Is that bubbling on the back edge of the sunroof or water? Not sure if it has just rained or it had been washed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
