yeh right ....I'd like to send him 50% within 48hrs of the auction ending ...whilst the car is on a slow boat from China .....and not turn up without an appointment ...to look at what ?
Why I wonder does he not wait until it's here before he tries to sell it ...might just be me but dodgy and caaannnt spring to mind :wave

He's buying it to order isn't he?

I've done the obvious and asked "How Much guv?" He responds, "Make me a sensible offer". I bid him a BIG MVS special starting gambit and he says way off, I'm expecting £6k plus.

All the best!

Ok, LHD makes it more valuable, but do all the parts needed to repair this one exist...without taking moulds from a runner?
I suspect this wouls be "challenging" to restore?
Can you actually register a non roadworthy car? I would expect an sva or at least MOT is needed, and this one is bent, incomplete and has significant broken (rare as hens teeth) panels.
Needs new front end, new sides.....and interior...
I'm sure the two broken UK cars were in better condition...
Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Nice little project. A bargain at £6k :shhh


Come and visit the Butcher of Sandbach and the Chopper of Cheshire. We have many good parts at very expensive prices :MoreSarc

Well whoever buys it I've got an interior for it plus the nosecone if you're interested. From the underneath left hand side has got some sort of bar holding the suspension up plus from the top when you zoom in it looks like the front Strutt has all pushed up repairable but expensive.

I think between us we have all the parts to fix this ( I have access to 1 and a half A610 Shells). The problem is all the unknowns and the 5-6K he wants for it. I guess it's going to cost 10-15K assuming it's not bent like a banana to put right. It's not really worth it. Some nutter in Europe will probably have it and turn it into one of those 610 EVO's.

In other news prices seem to be on the up. This one seems familiar, hmmm....

I think you're right Martin. Really probably only good for creating a 610 Le Mans racer clone or something equally exotic. I.e. something where you're likely to strip the interior, rebuild suspension and engine and cut the bodywork to splice in extra body kit stuff. Or to put it another way, make drastic changes where you don't want to wreck a good 610.

A610 EVO...nice idea, if some one has the front end of and a610 to add to it.
I have the broken glass....
Had a leather interior busy the look of it, one missing rear wheel...that'll be easy to source....not.
6k...well I'd imagine the shipping from Japan must be 1-2k...

Bet it's 1500-2k to buy it from Japan. Then like you say Lee another £1500 to £2k shipping stands him at 4k ish so he wants £2k profit. I haven't got a problem with that at all but putting it on ebay expecting someone to basically fund it for him within 48 hrs is a tad cheeky. Plus his "mate" will be bidding it up all the way to £5k without a shadow of a doubt. If his mate wins it then he's £50 out of pocket for ebay fee's if it goes over he's in clover. Quite clever really.
