Prices have gone mad the last 1-2 years. Time to jump on now!
Yep they have. I’d dread too think how much my FD is worth now. It was an original sold uk spec car. 1 of 125 sold in the uk.

I couldn’t pay 18k for one no matter how  much I’d want one because I’d look at what cars that are modern for the same price.

For another 6k you can get a new mustang ecoboost so second hand a fair bit less. Same with 370Zs

This was always about owning my childhood dream car back from the 90's/00's, didnt want a nail so had to pay the money. I have a 66' reg 335d X drive so have a sub 5s family car but it's boring. Not much can beat a classic in terms of driving satisfaction.

How much did you pay for it?

2-3 year ago you would have got that car for about £10,000.

I think James Willday sold his drag car, well sorted car BTW for about 10,000. On full power it was an second beast. He sold it with a rebuilt engine and on low boost about 500-550hp

Hi, I paid £18k

To be fair it'll be staying how it is.

It'll run up to 600hp at 2 bar which is more than i'll ever need. Just going to enjoy it once i've learnt how to drive it!

Yeah he's limiting it to 5000rpm for 1000 miles which should help me get to it.

It currently has its engine out. He's refreshing the engine for when it gets delivered next weekend! Childhood dream owning a 7. Never thought i'd be able to buy one that nice! some phenomenal work has gone into that car.
