The trouble with this is it is probably only going to be a museum piece, I mean are you going to pay 30K for it and drive it on UK roads and one accident later and your insurance co offer you £500'00 for it. Yes I no you can get agreed valuation insurance but is it worth the hassle and cost of trying to use this car on UK roads ?

It is a display piece only, of little practicle value to me I am afraid.

I am afraid I would not offer more than about 3K for it, good thought it maybe it is not practicle and I suspect that is what the current owner has worked out.

For 30K I would expect it filled up with petrol

You will be supprised, there are people out there who will buy this just to keep as an investment, there will always be a market for these type of cars.................just like us with our miggys, ok we would not pay these prices but in my case i love the miggy so much as a car i would pay top wack for one that had only done a few miles and was as factory new then mothball it.

If a RS500 is worth tops £25,000 and that is the one to have the only reason i can think this is to make £30k + is the fact its on a P Reg and last of the line.....
