Has to be Shytner. Yep it is!
Trying it on is their default setting. I will bet lots of money they didn't pay any more than £10k for that.

Good to see some people taking absolutely no notice of the slump in used prices and it now being a 'buyer's market'. :rolleyes:

Not so much this 'unicorn' but noticed another 3.0l with a good few miles on being asked at £13,750. Private seller too who is obviously living in a parallel universe.

yeah... mine was a time capsule also....
it encapsulated my time and money to stand on its feet. Selling it was the best option. It still has rotten parts from what I hear....

Judging by some of these prices, my rust-free 54k miles 'free litre' must be worth £15k even in it's current state (in bits). :D

I guess its like a new Bmw. It looks new, it probably smells new and it will lose £15k in value by the time you get it home.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this one’s the same. Would be interesting to see the maintenance history. Now that the full advert is up you can see it’s got an aftermarket head unit, which is a pity. For that mileage and at less than half the price I would want it 100% original, with a hard top and stand, wind deflector, tonneau cover, first aid kit, window protector etc.

Yeah I noticed that. Weird considering no-one has actually listened to it.
I agree that if you were to buy a car like that, for anywhere near that kind of money, it would be for a collection only and would need to be totally OEM with all the bells and whistles.

I may give Shytners a call as I have a spare tonneau cover in perfect condition. I reckon I will take a leaf out of their book and start the negs at £5k.

Same, I have an OEM CD Stereo they could throw in for a modest £3k
