Eshott David. Seems a really good set up and I love the Ikarus C42s .Very stable to fly although I,m still struggling with smooth landings. That's not me in the Vid though

I don't know whether it's cheap or not. I'm just looking to get enough for it to pay for the rest of my flying lessons.

I've been watching finished Roadster car prices for the past 5 years with interest with the view to building complete cars, the conclusion is there is no money in finished cars at all. This is what I would say looking at it from the 'how do I justify the asking price' or the 'wife/GF factor' if you prefer as it cuts out the rose tinted glasses.
The reality of your car although is nicely built is that it's hard to justify because it's a very basic Roadster as it stands, try telling the average wife/gf that you have to wear a crash helmet to go on a day out in it?
If your car had a wind screen, wipers, heater, carpet, side screens and a rag top then I would say £4500-5500 plus no problem, as it is now I think your looking at around the £2800-3200 mark at best.
Your car would I guess be classed as a road legal on going project for some one looking to add their own parts/style to it or a road legal track day toy. I wish you all the best for the sale but be prepared to either have it hanging around for a long time or take the hit of a really low offer.

Storm seems like a nice chap. I like the idea of the ownership schemes they have.

Phil. I knew when I started this project that I'd be taking a big hit when it was sold. That's why I said in the first post that I'd be happy if I could get £3k.

I've renovated bikes and cars in the past and know that the only way you're going to make a small fortune is to start with a large fortune.

I built it because I always wanted to build my own car and to a good standard. I've really enjoyed it. My garage has always been my second home. At one time I had two bikes,two jetskis, a go kart and still found space renovate a lambretta. Been there. Done that. Time to move on.

Now .Is it tall enough to get a home built plane in there?
