No, it's always going to be the least favourable way to sell, with that in mind, I still agree with you that it is a fair price.Quote:

Anyhow, 'good to see an 'acid test'?
Quite a pleasurable day out anyway!

A good bargain for the new owner who surely will enjoy with the Stuarts car!
Oh! I forgot to add, but can't resist doing so now, that no-one had legal representation with them to ensure good title to their purchases!!!
What it means that the new owner could have some trouble for registering the car John?Quote:

It did look good Phil. Livery was all paint.
It was a good build by Stuart, pretty basic in that it was just the Napiersport kit bolted together. Not much else. It it still looked pretty much as new. Not done many miles of course. Less than 3k since registered it looked like. Toyo tyres looked like the original ones.
Had to grin at the efforts of one interested party who was wrestling the doors up and down at every opportunity so as to emphasise how flimsy they were to anyone else looking!

CHOP HIS BLOODY FINGERS OFF !!!!.................. IF ITS THE NEW OWNER WELCOME TO OUR SITE !

I would have bought it at a lower price, and especially to stop some door bending oik get his hands on it, but at the price it fetched I'm pretty sure it was going to somebody who wanted it.
It was an enjoyable day for all sorts of reasons!

You must have took the wife then for a second honeymoon ??????????..................................................... OK maybe not !... LOL
She was invited. And promised a night out in Perth or Stirling, but nooooh.

Anyone know what the Beta went for?
Up for sale now on eBay, bet there's a slight markup!

Crap almighty! Just noticed the fuel tank in the boot - is that the back of the seats I can see there?!!!!!!!!!!!! The original Beta tank would be a safer install than piece of work......
Exactly Guy....needs a firewall fitted.....plus I noticed a few other things !
It was a late entry to the auction Guy. So it had a Lot no. towards the very end of the auction.
Sadly I didn't hang around that long after the 911 got sold so I have no note of price in my catalogue.
I had a brief look round it and certainly don't remember seeing that fuel tank from within the car so I'm guessing the fireproofing has been removed for some reason or other since the sale.
I know this car well.....I stored it for the owner for a year or so. I don't want to divulge too much about him as he was a customer, but let's just say whoever buys it will have a few "issues" to sort out. Paintwork was pretty awful (stripes weren't even straight!), it didn't run right, needed proper fuelling sorted out, and had some driveline issues too. General build was ropey so I think there would be a lot more things lurking for the new owner.
What did it actually sell for on the day? I didn't see what the winning bid was.....
I which car Mark? The Corse or the Beta?
sorry for confusion....the Beta.
No worries Mark, to be fair I thought there was a chance you could be talking about either car!
Stuarts Corse looked very impressive, but if one was being critical it may have been possible to level that accusation at the paintwork.
I also would not have been that surprised if it did have the odd fueling issue as, if I remember correctly, the tank was not baffled and there was no swirl pot.
I left the auction before the Beta came under the hammer but maybe results are on the Morris Leslie website?
Beta sold for £2600 plus premium so someone is trying to make a killing!Quote:
