Good luck mate

Which one did you prefer, Nix - Bill or Ben? Cheeky bleeders! Even i'm not old enough for bloody bill and ben! However, I can vaguely remember Mary Mungo and Midge! anyone remember The Bumblies and Michael Bentine way before Bill & Ben Was that on the old radio shows before TV was invented? Think I read about it in my history class... PMSL

Jay, can you update your sig please?

My mate is a copper in Sheldon

Its the colour Looks on all classified sites. 90% of cars at least, are Silver, GM or Sunset in the sub £13k price bracket................ Lots are imports too.......and therefore lots of choice for buyers.......... That doesn't actually make sense. The more common colours are obviously popular and therefore have a greater potential market. Obscure colours appeal to a minority and therefore have a smaller market. A silver or GM in good nick and well priced should be the easiest to sell. Of course it makes sense. A more common colour has a greater market potential and therefore greater competition meaning the car has to be cheeeeeeeeeeep for people to consider it over the other 50 gm or silver cars in the same brakcet. Try finding a black uk car under about £14k, there's not many at all. Numbers from Autotrader today:- Black 85 Blue 70 Bronze/Gold/Orange 37 Grey 87 Red 19 Silver 146 White 9 Yellow 5 Hardly makes black a niche colour.... I never said it was a niche colour. Yellow is a niche colour. Numbers on Autotrader today under £13k: Black (8) Blue (5) Silver (31) Grey (22) Therefore if you want a blue/black one for under £13k you have 13 to chose from or 53 grey/silver ones. If your trying to sell a grey one there is 53 other cars to compete with therefore it has to be cheeeeeep to stand out and get a quick sale. I rest my case Unless the owners of black and blue cars (which appear just as popular in the general market as GM) are overpricing their cars, making the GM and silver more popular for those not set on one colour and increasing the number of potential buyers... There's certainly nothing in those figures to suggest that ubiquity is driving down the prices of GM cars. BTW Why lump GM and silver cars together? My first choice was silver, second blue and then black. I have never wanted a GM. I only have a grey one now as I would have been without a car for an extra 2 months with any other colour. I agree that the GM and silver can be appealing to people not set on one colour. The main reason is that there are lots of them about especially at sub £13k. Lots to choose from therefore you can afford to be choosy and drive a hard bargain. You can't do that when your choice is limited to 5 blue cars nationwide under £13k, you could with a silver one. The only people you see struggling to sell zeds on here are silver and GM owners in the main. I lumped silver and GM together because they are virtually the same colour and are considered safe options. Easy to buy as there is loads to choose from, hard to sell for the same reason. With blue and black cars its the other way round. As somoeone who had a silver zed and now has grey one I'd expect you to disgree with what is blindingly obvious to me

Not an HR engine, that was fitted in the MY07. This as the DE engine High Rev engine, which is what was in the GT4's and MY06's

Jay, you are tapped

Looks nice I know its a MY03 interior with the HR engine but why do people think its too expensive? I assume it has two years of warranty at least and has only done a 1000 miles........

+1 I can't see anyone beating it, apart from him again, for at least 10,15 maybe even 20 years!! He's true one off I reckon he could get the 100m down to about 9.5 too

Have you seen the 200m a few mins ago? He was flat out sprinting to the line in that.......

Ooops double post

I made my interest in the car known (and via PM to the owner). I didn't ask for this thread. Just lock it or delete it.

Nope as there is no purpose to it. I didn't start it.

But he won £5 so thought he may still be selling..... its a reasonable assumption

Even i can do this

Either any good Steve?
