Half of it aint there though... ???

[krobinson]

All the good bits (engine etc) seem to have already been sold!, Fearless cage, bailey tank and things like that must be sold too!

Wonder is the shell rotten? or is it just to make back cash?

Sorry guys it is gutting breaking such a nice car especially as i have spent a small fortune on it since buying it of Dec a few years ago and i know Dec dedicated a part of his life to just polishing the thing lol.

As the car had been used for track use only i didnt have mot or tax on it and felt that i would recover more money by selling the parts from it seperatly. It is very hard to sell complete cars that are modified to that extent and you allways get people saying that it is still a nova despite the fact its had over ?15k spent on it . I believe i would have been lucky to get maybe ?5k tops for the whole car whereas breaking it will see me get more then that. Just look at the trouble Dec had selling it before i bought it, it was advertised for ages and i dont have the time to hold onto it for that long.

The best place to advertise modified cars like this is through the message boards on the internet and unfortunatly people seem more than happy to spend thousands on buying bits for their own cars but are very reluctant to buy a complete car despite the potential bargain they would get.

As stated earlier most of the good bits have gone to good homes anyway but there are still some goodies left (brakes especially hint hint olly)

Agreed!
I doubt you would get anywhere near ?5k, although I know full well its worth a lot more!
Its also due to the car market in general. Very much a buyers market at the mo, and has been for a while!
