Smile Cheap V8 and 2.5 spotted

Just seen a 2004 V8 for sale on 46k miles for £7995. It's at M & M Automation ( 01590 421125). Also at West Lanes Motors (01772 507432) a 2002 2.5 Connie SE Auto on just 65k at £1,000. No nothing about vendors but these seem steals to me.

Obviously, someone agrees with you as this one is already sold

The V8 has been advertised before, when I phoned them about it back in February I was told they had firm interest from Germany. It was formerly registered as V800 something from memory. It was the same price then, make of that what you will but hasn't sold yet.

That's lovely, but I'd prefer it in Pearl Black (I can dream...!)
Bargain for a V8 75, given the scarcity these days. Just around the corner from us too!

I do like the silver cable ties securing the grill

One cannot beat a nicely prepared car for sale

The cable tie is probably to hold on the grill after the damage when it drove over the wall.

I cannot find the link to it, but I believe the wall behind the left hand rear quarter used to be much smaller than it is now, and was even smaller when the V8 drove into and over it.

Check out the sill damage too.

Assuming it's the same car, I looked at it in Silverlake's salvage yard middle of last year with a view to buying. Unfortunately, the bidding went too high, considering the amount of damage and hence cost of repairing.

I still have all the damage photos on my phone, along with the press images of the accident that were on this forum.

Seems they want normal money for a write-off, if it is the same car ?
