Good luck John...hope SMC come up with the goods. Guess you have come to the same conclusion as a few others huh? Watch how predictable this auction is.

I will add, the cars seem good and usually sell for a reasonable price, but it gets my goat too how supposed "No Reserve" auctions are obviously rigged.

As someone else said... the thing to do is to bid your max and see if you get it. That way you can't get carried away or get "pushed up".

Just noticed what car you are driving! I woud stick with what you have as long as it's got Rover Rons tuning thingy installed.

Small world in deed.

I am looking for a Auto V8 at the moment, NOT to replace my car though,
Its either SMC for new or maybe JulesBass will come up with an 07 Plate?

More bidding action..Bidder 9 has pushed the price up to just under £8k. With this much interest and 5 days still to go, this should reach £20k easily!

RAF Sealand is still there at the Moment but is on the Government List for Closure.

The different shade of the door is quite common in my experience of MGR silver. My ex ZT260, which I bought new, had it and my brother also had the same problem on one of his silver 75's.
As this particular car is 06 reg I believe it will get clobbered with the £400 VED next year

Keith · 6th October 2007, 21:30

Possibly that is the same car they were shieling up to silly prices earlier this year

Yes that is quite true, £400 from March 2008.
I have been keeping that in mind also.

Many of the Starlight Silver 75's & ZT's I've had in, have not necessarily had different shaded panels, but Patchy shading all over especially in the sun light.
It's as if the original paint had insufficient coverage under the laquer.

16 bids and 9 bidders in the 1st few hours of the auction opening followed by a whole day without change. Isn't human nature amazing!!

If this runs true to form, I give it another 12-24 hours before you will see any significant movement again.

It will be interesting to see which of these eager bidders wins the auction??

Can't wait!

Don't forget there are many traders bidding on fleaBay for stock including Moi sometimes.

We will only go up to trade price less travel expenses and not a penny more unless very rare! I've bid on 100's of cars not expecting to win them.............but you never know as 1 out of 200 cars bid on do come to me very cheap from time to time
