SWB250 going on ebay

andysharrock · #1 3rd February 2016, 19:25

sad to say it but think I am going to list my SWB250 on ebay this weekend only dune 50 miles since the last mot and just re taxed it to sit on the drive. at a push my hot rod should be ready for stoneleigh, I am 3k into the build and still have loads to do so the spare cash would not go a miss.

Did you paint it in the end?

andysharrock · #3 4th February 2016, 06:39

nope been working full on my hotrod figure nocking the price down cost of the paint or offering to have it dune for cost. just testing the water dose or doesn't go. if not I will have it painted then take it to the show it will sell for more at the show painted just rather spend on the rod at the mo

Good luck with the sale. Im curious to know what it would go for. Has a fully finished 1 ever been sold yet?

Good luck with the sale.

It will be interesting to see the price it reaches, although I'd like to keep mine so if yours fetches a high price, I don't need to know.
It's going on my watch list though.

Cheers, Bob.

well its not fully finished but almost just needs paint, I have set the reserve high in the hope the offers flood in and someone comes over with the cash. still miss my GTO so an other could be on the cards soon.

Good luck with the sale. We all know how much the part built ex demo car went for at Beulie, I would have thought that is a good price to aim for .

Fingers crossed for you Andy, I hope it reaches your reserve.

I know what I let my unfinished cars go for, so it will be interesting to see how much higher yours goes for. I'm guessing it may end up in Europe.

I dont know how much it sold for give us a clue, could be more could be less

Lucky@LeMans · #14 7th February 2016, 22:02

I think it was a thread started by Tribute. The figure I recall was £18k !

andysharrock · #15 7th February 2016, 22:16

fecking hell, I will be building an other.

Lucky@LeMans · #16 8th February 2016, 18:26

I'm sure a well finished example would go for mid to high 20's
or even lots more to the right buyer.

andysharrock · #17 8th February 2016, 18:36

well if it dose Not sell I will get it painted and change a few bits as I always do. 3598 views and 292 watches been offered a porsche boxster and cash so far. loads of messages for how much, if it dose well I will build an other just to sell on.

Don't think there's any chance of really big money on eBay because Tribute is advertising the kit almost full time on there for £3.8K - that severely limits the ceiling of an unfinished car.

The original black Tribute only made 6K. The Las part complete they sold for 5K on here - if anyone will hold prices down ironically it's them.

Beauliue sale had no cross reference to the kit to gauge value. Big money sales won't happen on eBay .

All IMHO which is worth exactly what you paid for it lol!
