    £15k It hasn't even got venoms on it

    As nice as that is and as much as i love throwing my money away, i'd struggle going over £5/6k for that.

    id say its worth the money. These cars or even type of cars nowadays are rare, and have so much character, and if you think about it... there will never be these types of cars again. Nowadays the norm is becoming very refined even hybrid cars,, which are so dull.

    Fook that is low mileage... must be the lowest mileage example in existence! A lot of money tho' but I would if I could; my 5 is nearly at 21k which is a little too high for my liking

    very very nice ideed, like anything it's worth what someones willing to pay for it!
    And by the sounds of it there's a few off us who would be willing if they had the cash. Don't think it will sell too quickly at that price tag tho.

    Not saying this is right, but the link to 1986 Autocar article says £7,710.
    http://www.autocar.co.uk/www.autocar...-Turbo/231054/

    According to thisismoney.co.uk £7,710 in 1986 is worth £18,349.80 of your 2012 ££'s
    http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/b...nged-1900.html


    That makes the £15k a bit easier on the eye!!

    The pics in the ad have been given a lot of extra contrast, if you check out the dash there is quite a difference in colour of the upper parts (almost black) and say the centre console (light grey) they are almost the same colour in the advert.
    It's interesting that quite a lot would now be prepared to pay that if they had it and though it's probably the best, lowest mileage example out there I prefer my white one
    The main reason I posted it up was the exceptional price but also the exceptional mileage, it got me thinking about how many sub 20k cars there are out there? This one, the tungy from a year or so back, I think mine qualifies and Stevens. Any others?

    If you bought it with that mileage..... would you ever drive it???? then the question is... whats the point? 100k miles driven and enjoyed everyday

    I don't know if they count or not, but a lot of the Coupe's are on very low mileage, obviously! Mine's only done a few k, although that can't be verified 100%. Eugein bought his with a genuine less than 2k on the clock as well.

    The thing is with them, they might only have done a few k, but they're all nicely battered . Eugein's was probably the straightest, most original one I've seen, before his incident at Cadwell

    You buy a car and it's up to you HOW you enjoy it but I agree and although I don't drive mine a lot I do get out and enjoy it in the way it's meant to be enjoyed.

    Got to say - regardless of the price etc - that is by far the most wonderful example I have seen for a while. And it's pure magic how someone has kept it in this condition.

    Nice?

    Nice?

    Doesn't even come close.

    I wonder how many more gtt's like this are out there hidden away in someone's garage.

    It really is a fantastic example, I'm not sure many people would actually pay that much to be fair, a lot of people say they would if they had the money, but would you honestly?

    If I had 15k to spend on a car it wouldn't be this I'm afraid.

    I wonder how much they purchased it for? My guess is, a lot less than 15k

    You could buy a C5 RS6 avant for that and tune it to well over 500 horses.

    Or a renault 5 gt turbo...

    Think id buy the audi and a cheap GT Turbo.

    Not liking the look of the bottle on it also

    Just above the battery and below the window you can see paintwork bubble/rust.

    I'd put my last penny on saying that rust isn't just there too. £15k.. it would have to of come from that showroom place in France with no miles on it to make me interested

    And now the ripping it to bits begins I just thought that was lacquer peel, not great none the less. See my reply to Mike's post, I think we have all seen cars that look great in photographs which then turn out to be slightly disappointing in the metal. J510 looks great but she has her problems too.

    Flins btw.

    Kris, she is looking very fresh there.

    The ph1 was nice, but well used... Stonechips, odd scratch, think dodgy interior enfine bay.... THe owner kept on biging up his car... Claiming it was a minter... Always for sale for prices over £6k if i remember correctly...well over 6 years ago...

    personally i feel the car in question is a tad overpriced, if i was going to spend that sort of money it would be on a turbo 2 for sure, that said i do love it....., lovin the pics kris, gotta say the phase 1 is just way sexier if not more intersting than the phase 2..imo.
