Default My Roadster for sale

Bu****r, S**t, F**k, Bol**x

I've got to sell my Roadster..
Just had a serious finance prob raise its ugly head.
I'm in need of raising some cash quickly.
Unfortunatly the Roadster is the only thing I've got thats worth anything.

It is now on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Haynes-Roadste...item255a38c642

Anyone that knows me should know I'm a genuine builder.
And have only just finished a winter rebuild, with loads of mods.
Inc 2.0 Pinto engine, and full roll cage
Certainly not selling before Stonleigh, and won't be dropping out of the forum.
I'll just start again when this bloody problem goes away.

Got it up for BIN £5750, Will sell it for £5000 to any genuine forum member.

Unhappy Sad news

Absolutely gutted for you mate

I know the amount of blood sweat & tears that have gone into your build.

Going to be an absolute steal for someone

Let's hope that when things perk up for you .... You'll be able to start all over again

Must say, the Roadster is looking greater than ever following the winter re-build

Dave,

I must say your roadster looks fantastic, I am sorry to hear you have to sell up.

I am watching on Ebay, as are loads of forum member’s I’m sure.

If it is any consolation it is a great time to sell, coming into summer and any prospective buyer can have a good look at Stoneleigh. I shall be taking a close look for reference.

See you there it will be good to meat up again. I never got to say good bye last time we met.

Cheers Ginge

Things must be really bad to have to sell up David, there must be no way around it - daft thought, how much would the reg plate make?

Car looks fantastic though if its any consolation.....

See you at Stoneleigh.

Take Care....AndyH

Sorry to hear your in a rough spot. Why not see if some of your mates here can lend a hand as in set up a pay pal account for people to donate to help you out. I would truly be heart broken having to sell a work of art like that. I'm sure there are quite a few here that would like to help if asked.
