MK V For Sale at Coys!

[REV]

The Lord does move in mysterious ways, but I really don't think he had anything much to do with this particular vehicle.
   
   That said, the guy who had to "Superbly Prepare it" might have been heard to utter "Oh My God" a few times!

[TLegate]

Actually I did hear what he said and God never came into it.... :-0
   
    I think he wanted the cars to multiply elsewhere

[REV]

Does anyone know whether this particular car has gone forth (So to speak!)
   
   Or is Mr. Clive Sutton still the proud owner?

This car appears to be the sister car of the 2 that were in Long Island NY.  This car is 008 and I was looking to pruchase 006 ..all MRK V Carbon Fiber Bodies.
   
   Looks like they completed this one ..the 2 I was looking at were incomplete with no motor and trans ...in the USA ...they would have been titled as Replicas ... maybe rightfully so ... but ..I wasnt comfortable ... not sure where 006 & 005 ended up ... but I thought they were very nice cars.

Ron,
   
   My Mum had a saying "Beauty is only skin deep".
   
   I think thats a great looking car!

[ak1234]

..... "Beauty is only skin deep". But Ugly is straight thru to the bone !!! LOL
   
   I like the thought of carbon fiber ... but no one I have seen has it down to a science in the automotive industry with fit, strength and no bowing over a long eperiod of time ...that was one of the minor issues with these bodies.

   It would appear that this one is still on the books of Clive Sutton, appearing for sale in the eBay Classifieds
   
   @ £74,950, making the auction guideprice of £50-65k an absolute snip!!!
   Also listed by Clive Sutton are:
   Another(!)MkV  £69,950
   
   ...and an Eleanor Mustang @ £130,000!!!

Jeez have they STILL got that 'Eleanor' (puke) That was being touted at the Motor Show in 2007 - I was advised it was both desirable and a bargain. I think my assessment was closer to the mark.
   
   anybody know how to get vomit out of a keyboard that is about to stop wor

[nikbj68]

OK.
   
   I know ALL of what`s been said,
   
   
   BUT
   
   
   Listen to this:
   
   
   
   RAAAAARRRR.
   
   I want it!!!!!!!!!!!
   
   Somebody stop me!!!!!

[TLegate]

Like I said, it's all about that engine!! (Sounds even better given the full welly in a garage....)
   
   And I'm on my way to your house with my shotgun Nik - you'll thank me one day.

OK, to bring this back on topic...
   It would appear that our subject was a no-sale, with only 23 of the 52 cars for sale actually finding a new home, according to the classiccarsforsale.co.uk results page, however a 1992 RAM Cobra evocation[] made £21k against an estimate of £16-19k.
