Joking aside, it needs restoration that would be started with a dustbin full of brave pills!

I reckon if you jacked it up and opened the doors it would fold in half.

Dan and I weren’t using our Porsche Boxster much since he started learning to drive (I couldn’t insure it for him for another decade!), so I thought I might offer it for sale with the spring coming. I tried the people that advertise they buy anything - they offered me 17 grand, which sounded a bit light to me. As a result I placed a classified ad on eBay this morn at a shade under 20 grand, took some nice photos and wrote a candid rubric. That was this morn; the motor car was sold to a Porsche specialist an hour ago, money in the bank and will be collected tomorrow. That £20 ad has netted me an additional £2,500, so I’m quite pleased with myself.

I think the moral of this story is to be honest and candid, good motor cars then sell themselves.

Alan, Many congratulations on your quick sale, obviously you composed a great advert with all the info but not 200 photos😀

Also nice in not having a sale drag on for days, and endlessly reposting on eBay.

Now that you've got some readies in the back pocket, perhaps revisit the Bentley pages....... just don't tell Luke😀

Cheers
Steve

Photo #8 says the front suspension has collapsed.
That front wheel has an extreme camber.

It is funny that you say that Steve. Dan and I were sitting outside MaccyDs when the dealer called to transfer the money for the Porsche. The first thing Dan said after the call was: 'can we get a Bentayga now?'.

... better not tell Luke

I second that. It's nice to get close to what you want when selling a car.
Rare these days.
Piggy bank or new project?

My money is on staying as is though.

Who’s a clever boy then?👍

Alan,

Bentayga, Oh I'd have thought you could have schooled Dan about a proper Bentley aka S1 Continental et al, mind you the proceeds might not stretch to one of those.....🙄
