One of my favourite colours (if I'm right).

Is £8k not a little heavy for a 99,000 miler too?

You should have bought it a couple of weeks ago, when it was £4,975!.....

will never achieve 8k just a pipe dream.
if nothing else some prices and thoughts on the value of these cars provide plenty of entertainment value.

Is that why you haven't got one then ?

Still.......entertainment has its value

The big problem that stopped it selling last time is that it is in the higher tax bracket so is £460 a year to tax rather than £270ish for one registered a couple of months earlier.

I think it's only market at that price given the tax bracket is abroad, but a lot have been going there recently so who knows.

The Vortex wheels must be worth the asking price on their own surely!!!

Prices are on the rise for nice V8s... must be due to the drop in fuel prices...

Before all you V8 boys get carried away, let's put a little realism into things!

The car was for sale for ages at another garage in Shropshire for ages at £4,975 and he couldn't sell it!

It's not uncommon for garages to do what's called a "Stock swop" where you swop over-age stock with another garage, to see of a "fresh face" will help move things along!

As the car didn't sell for £4,975 (not surprising at 100K miles) the chances of it selling at £8K are zero and I predict a price reduction before too long!
