Bidding ends at 11.28 GMT tonight.

Current bid sits at £17,877.80,  I'm sure someone will meet the reserve though, be interesting to see where ends up.

I make that £19,621.62 offered on a spend of £81,255.27. Less than 25%.

I am amazed at why someone would spend that amount on something, let alone a car, that will show such a loss.

Am I missing something here? :huh:

Mike its not you who's missing something here, its this TR250 owner. Once you have made your mind up to go for a total rebuild with most of the work done by a specialist, you have to commit yourself to NOT having to sell your car.  You are never going to get your money back, in fact nowhere close, as in this situation.

If you need to sell your expensive re-build you firstly have to have it as original looking as possible, originality counts today. This car is in a non standard colour ( big boo-boo) with an interior which at best you could describe as dubious (another boo-boo) thats 2 of the biggest mistakes you could make IF you have to sell on.

I would say its easy to get swept away when your car is being rebuilt by a specialist and before you can blink your estimated expenditure has been blown out of the water, vicious circle for sure. Was I surprised at the lack of interest in this car?  Well no!

Now I am not being super-critical here merely telling it as it is.

Alan I am interested to know why you need to go to a specialist to have the work done?

Well if the TR250 owner has actually spent $110k then I would presume that he had gone to a specialist. I tend to do my own work outwith body and paint which I would be useless at!
