    I haven't a clue what it's worth but there are plenty of rich people who collect cars and afaik that is a rare and original low mileage car.

    Judging by his stock list I'd say he's deadly serious.

    Will he get near asking? Who knows.

    What we do know is that it is a very rare car in original condition.

    i suppose he's hoping Jeremy Clarkson will pay him a visit?

    He's usually very dead on with valuations in fairness and is probably the authority on classic sales in the Uk

    He has supplied quite a few cars for a few prominent collectors here

    The stock on their website is just ridiculous. They have one of the Land Rovers from Spectre. yours for only £265K

    If Hartleys have it, they have a fair idea of what someone is going to pay them for it, they shift through some amount of rare/high-end cars. (have a browse of their previously sold list - it's jawdropping)

    for example they are also currently sitting on this McLaren F1 Longtail
    The first of only ten F1 GTR Longtail examples ever produced and the factory prototype/development car. First raced at the Suzuka 1000km where it ran in Lark Livery and boasts extensive Japanese race history.

    One of only two F1 GTR Prototypes in private hands, the other owned by renowned collector Nick Mason. Chassis 19R was also the first Longtail to ever be converted to road specification, the work carried out by Lanzante and Gordon Murray Design.

    I've given deposit and noticed rust on Honda Insight. Some yellow stick liquid is also there on joints.

    Car is 2011, new import, 120k done. 7k, 1.3 L

    Other option is an executive model at 8.5k which is 1.5 L and has paddel shifts and leather seats.

    1. Rust a cause or concern

    2. Which is better. I liked 1.3 to be smooth than 1.5. 1.5 made some strange noise.

    Looks like someone sprayed grease on the hinges

    Yep doesn't look like rust to me either.

    Thanks should i be worried. Car looks pale in front of other cars with same dealer. Please see image attached.

    Also does it make sense to spend 1500 on 1.5 l engine and half Heather seats.

    I drive very slow anyways.

    Rear bumper looks to be a different shade of white to the rest of the car, might have taken some rear damage

    That's a good spot. Thanks a lot.

    Seems have to spend 1500 more on 1.5 :-(. I need cruise control guess that will be handy on motor way.

    Seems 2011 has color things. Checked this on another dealer and looks like bumper is pale in one pic and not in another. For whatever reason 2010 and other years white is far better. Pics are from diff sites

    I asked him for photos just to piss him off, I suggest others do the same

    An ad for a ek4 sir that says "never abused", really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,277 ✭✭✭✭bazz26


    From the advert:

    Price is not negotiable.Serious enquires only. won't be entertaining time wasters or replying to messages looking for pics or parts.

    Maybe if Anto put photos up in the advert then people wouldn't be asking for them. I'd say you are dealing with a real gem of the human genepool there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,464 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    And no phone number, sure sign of a grade A bell end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭ManOfMystery


    I suspect his Missus asked him to sell it and he told her stuck an ad up to placate her. £10k, no photos, and doing his best to dispel any potential buyers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,943 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    I find this a bit irritating when someone goes through the hassle of painting the car and wheels but wouldn't bother cleaning the engine bay instead just paint the fuel pump, heat shield and rocker cover especially if they are asking very strong money for it

    Getting a Japanese insight 2012 105KMs, Ex variant at 8500. Auction sheet rating is 3.5. I was expecting it to be 4. Is that bad?
