Car Auction of the Century!!!!

[WorldClassAccident]

You can buy the dream and own the original Z300S direct from the Tribute Owners Club President.

[Jaguartvr]

On the listing it has
‘Rebuilt - assembled from parts some of all of which were not new’

Any idea what this means as I have the same on my V5, Mine is not a cat c or D but when I tried to get a replacement key BMW said they couldn't supply one as the car had been imported from Belgium even though it is RHD.
Confused.

[WorldClassAccident]

No idea what it means to be honest but I didn't ask for it to be there so I guess it is just some standard text fromt he DVLA

[Lucky@LeMans]

I think it is a standard addition to most V5's where a car is modified or kit built. Seen it on many, if not all my project car V5's. I wouldn't mention it in your advert as it doesn't read well and might put a few people off. Good luck with your auction sale btw.

[Jaguartvr]

It was on my V5 before the car was modified, I can't see why they would add it to the V5 just because it was an import.
Odd to have a RHD from Belgium anyway I would have thought.

[WorldClassAccident]

The auction site write the script and insist on certain points being mentioned.

Really ? You must have given them a few pointers or they'd have no clue about it !

Back in the day it was often cheaper to import a right hand drive car from Belgium, France etc rather than buying it here in the UK !

You can follow progress here - not setting the pricing sheets on fire just yet.

good! seen to many great cars sell for too cheap a price

[Lucky@LeMans]

Should be around 5 times the current bid ( 3k ), its a nice car !
Good luck with the sale, you might get a bidding frenzy in the closing minutes !

[peterux]

Is the VIN plate under the bonnet missing?

[WorldClassAccident]

Nothing for most of the week and then a sudden flurry of a dozen bids today as two rival bidders drove up the price to about

[Lucky@LeMans]

Can't use the pound sign on here Nick !!

Bad luck it didn't get there today, maybe try again in a few weeks when the sun comes out .

Noticed an older Challenger E type sold today at the " Classic Car Auctions " sale , it went for 26,5k with a buyers fee of 15% on top of that, so buyers can be found if the venue is right. Sold my 275 and Z3GT through that auction house and they got a result after months of trying to sell privately.

[WorldClassAccident]

Nothing for most of the week and then a sudden flurry of a dozen bids today as two rival bidders drove up the price to about 10,000 less than the reserve. Free, interesting but disappointing in the end*

*A bit like my teenage sex life :-)

[WorldClassAccident]

Thanks Lucky - I still need to leave it with Car & Classic for 2 weeks for them to chase around the bidders to try and sell it but then will see what else might work. Will look at Classic Car Auctions

[casamolino]

Nick have you had the call yet asking "if sir would be prepared to reduce his reserve" Geoff .

[WorldClassAccident]

Expecting it at any time :-) and no, he would not consider it.
