Makes me sad to see them under valued 
Did this car go to anyone on here?
i wouldnt call it cheap...i would call it "priced a bit on the lower side":
but:
1. its a non-runner
2. who wants a x/flow engine nowadays ?
3. as its too young, there is no interest from outside UK (which often pushes the price to a non-typical UK level)
putting all this into consideration the price is more on an average level.

there is a written off 5 year older Westfield on eBay for more than this! 
1 year ago a mate of mine bought a x/flow powered striker, condition "as new", with fresh mot for 3500
similar time another striker, a bit scruffy, but highly tuned x/flow with all the "good" things thrown into the car for track use,
underneath (chassi, suspension) the car was spot on, was sold with a fresh mot for 2900.
as long as foreign buyers do not mess around on the market, the values for kitcars are really low.
also, the mainstream buyer for a sevenish-car wants the car to look like a typical seven....so all those buyers (which is the majority) dont focus on
sylva“s.
It was still a bargain for sum one as it sold in a few days clearly I wasn't the only one to think that !!!!
people buying ther first seven wont buy it as sylva doesnt look sevenish enough for them.
people buying their 2nd or 3rd seven wont buy it because it has an x/flow (such people want to upgrade, as they already had x/flow powered cars)
people from abroad dont buy it because its not re-homologateable outside UK.
its at beginning of the kitcar season, so nobody will buy it now, doing a zetec conversion, as potential buyers want to enjoy it...winter was time for
spannering, now its too late.
so who, at the end of the day, would buy it?

You seem to missing the point as it sold within 3 days so it was a cheap car .
oh...its sold? so i think i have missed something? advert does not say its sold.

but I still think they are undervauled when
compared to equal performance alternatives
I agree strikers are undervalued sadly
As always I love the words of wisdom from Alfas. I have always wondered why you bother with all that doom and gloom
I agree simon
I emailed the guy the day it popped up on here, it was gone before the weekend. I couldn't even get to it before it sold....
I sold my striker only a couple of years ago for nearly 2k more. It was very cheap!
