Right, I'll re-write what I just said as it didn't read correctly....

Jim, I understand that "the unknown" tends to put people off, but people who don't really understand the world of Strat reps and what they cost won't see what the potential is with this car. Assuming it'd sell for £20-25K, I think (finger in the air) that a paint job, retrim and work to make IVA-compliant would come to about £10K or a bit more, so then you've got a decent Strat rep for £35K. Unless the reserve was £30K, I don't think it was expensive. But you've got to see past your initial impressions....it's an unfinished project, after all. Maybe people are getting spoiled by pics of shiny Alitalia cars

"Potential future money pit"....hahaha, that's any high-end car, then

By "relatively expensive" I meant that, in my world, £17k plus is a lot for any unfinished kit-car project where you'd have to take a guesstimate of how long it might take and how much it might cost to put it on the road and where your best guess might be years out and maybe multiple thousands of pounds out. Far better to either under-price it at a fixed price to see if you can swiftly move it on or take it to the stage where it's a known quantity with a value that's easier to establish. Shiny Alitalia cars are a bad comparison since they are common.

Sorry, which car are we talking about here?
