I keep seeing this car advertised and to me it just looks so wrong especially for the price..https://www.theonlineclassiccarauction. ... 7bca?ic=24

Its certainly been around for a while. Low starting bid of £7500, nope that's not low for a car in this condition.

For me the painted Aero kit and bumpers look naff, wheel arch trims look like the aftermarket metal trims hence the gap between them and the rest of the body kit.

Paint job is awful, there is overspray on the headlamps.

I seem to recall it was sold a few years back for a couple of grand, that's probably its current value as it would need stripping back and starting again.

MOT history tells a story as well.

No MOT history pre 2018 which is probably about the time it sold for £2k.

Then another 5 year gap before the next MOT.
Its covered less than 300 miles in that 5 years.

My thoughts exactly...

That Aero bodykit looks very poorly fitted/aligned.

Yep, I suspect any bidder who does not take a close look and bids over the odds (its already bid over its true value) will be disappointed with their purchase.
I suspect the reserve will be quite high considering the price that the seller has been asking for it in previous listings.

I wonder what colour it was originally? I have a feeling that it would of been white and non S spec.

Question is, how soon will it be back up for sale at an inflated price?
