5EXI on Ebay - Forum Archive - Madabout Kitcars

Just nosing around ebay today and came across this, a bit disapointing the low starting price, or maybe true reflection on how much we have all lost.

If it's the same one I saw at Llandow, then it's very tired, and thus the price is probably a realistic expectation.

It's just a starting price though. As they have set a reserve they may as well have just started at 99p to get some bidding going.

Looks like it will need SVA'ing (or IVA'ing) though if the eventual buyer wants to use it on the road.

That would knock a bit off the price I would have thought.

If it's the one I saw, it is very raw, and only useable as a track car in it's current state.

Guys

I know the owner as I was instrumental in him buying it. It's the first 5EXi race car built in 2005. It is not road legal and never will be, I know he will not take a penny less than £5K, hope that helps you all sleep a little easier.
