Low miles, years ticket, £2.2k.
Probably won't be on sale for long at that price.
If anyone needs a set of 14" steel wheels like these (with covers and okay-ish tyres) let me know. I came across a set going free the other day (they would need collecting from near Coventry).

That GLT has a 16 year gap in its history!🫣
...and it's sold for £3.3k. Appears history is optional, you just need a recent MOT and a polishing mop to sell a 240 nowadays.

I think £3,300 was a good price for the seller to achieve with a motor car like this one.

960, probably the most expensive banger racer I've seen:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155242141478

That's a NOPE².

The modifications make it a category A write-off, the crusher would be more appropriate.

Think the price is taking the **** in more ways than one, they'd probably pay someone to take it...

Surely the "luxurious, premium and subtly modified" bits are just stick-ons?
It looks like one of the wacky races cars that do an annual Nurburgring trip, although they'd be allowed on the track only if they can convince the marshals that nothing is going to fall off.
I'd buy it for that alone - but only if I could convince the vendor that there's a zero too many on the price tag.

Makes you question which other important bits have been 'stuck-on'.
Overall quality of mods is so poor I'm amazed a reputable dealership would have anything to do with it, let alone stick their name on it. Novelty LOLs I expect...

It don't convince me nothing's going to fall off: That front grill has to be illegal, not to mention unsafe, hideous and sh*t.

Please, there are nicer (if slightly shorter) ones out there that won't have the local youth throwing things at you:

£500 bid. Although probably wouldn't make it to Dover let alone Germany.
