Default My Haynes for sale

I've recently took up microlight flying and at £120 an hour lessons I've decided the car has to go. I've put it on locostbuilders

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/view...php?tid=200601

Not sure what it's worth. £5.5k to get it on the road. I'd be happy if I could get £3k for it.

Will have to wait for the 48hr expiry as although I have been a member on there for 11+ years I hardly visit.

I had hosted most of the pics on Photobucket but have been ignoring all their Emails and now they're gone. I don't think I can upload to this site, can I?

Text copied from locostbuilders
IVAd last September. I've only done about 1100 miles in it. H reg Age related plate

It drives and runs very well .Low mileage (60K) 2.0L silver top with standard ECU and sierra running gear. It took 4 years and cost me about £5.5k to actually get it on the road. I appreciate that it's not going to be worth anywhere near that but it's something I always wanted to do.

Has a few very minor faults which I had intended to do after IVA but I didn't want to do them till this winter in case I wanted to use it. The fuel pump is occasionally noisy and I think it's too high so needs swapping positions with the fuel filter. Easy job.
The R1 exhaust is a bit tatty and I was going to change it for a Stainless from a Bandit. I haven't put high enough chip plates on the back arches so the paint is chipped higher up. Original centre mirror hole needs filling and new paint. (It fell off officer!)
The bonnet was a work in progress and is painted black because I wanted to see what it would look like.It has some minor paint bubbling from the engine heat.

I have all paperwork inc IVA copy,receipts and a list of all the new parts used.

Are you doing the flying at eshott or Carlisle ?

Nice looking car but you are selling it too cheap. Surely you can get more than that for it

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Have to agree with David here, start @ 5.5k ono. Room for discount for quick sale. Good Luck.

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.
