Due to time committments it's got to go 
Any idea what I should price it at?
MK Indy R1
12000 miles (7,000 in bike)
MOT to November 2013
First registered in July 2003 with a car engine.
Fully rebuilt in 2006:
2001 R1 baffled engine
Procomp FIA spec roll cage (not in picture)
IRS 3.62 LSD
Bailey Morris HD prop
Gaz coilovers
Discs all round
Paddle shift
Composite seats (very comfy even on long journeys)
Aeroscreen
Carbon fibre wing mirrors
Longacre rear view mirror
Acumen DG8 gear indicator
Repackable exhaust
Recent new battery
Extra cooling capacity
15” Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s with Toyo 888s (just legal)
15” alloys with Toyo road tyres with about 6mm
Good condition but it has been a track day toy, so has some light scratches and pebble dash.
This was Richies old car (built by his brother Ox). It's been great, perfectly reliable and huge fun.
Cheers
Jonny

As you probably know what's it is worth n what people will pay for it at present is hugely different.
Good luck with the sale.

Current practice would be to put it up for £12,500 - £14,000. Before you do that, however, remove anything from the car that could be considered an
'extra' and either sell these separately, or offer them as additionals subject to negotiation.
Use plenty of language such as 'bargin, awsum, breaks' to make the point.
Alternatively, if you actually want to sell it, put it on Ebay and let market forces dictate. I suspect anything around £4,500-5,000 may be the ball
park. There are so many cars out there at the moment, you can get a very good idea of what will/has sold. Main problem with the Ebay strategy seems to
be that (even) at what you may regard as insignificant financial recompense may not materialise, a 'winning' bidder may well be less than
serious.
Realistically, your target audience is probably on here!!!!!!!! We know what the car is.

I'd like to see where all the cars are though, I can't see any?

6k ish sounds more like it to me if you want to sell it.

depends how fast you'd want to sell it really, 4k would be like hot cakes, 6k significantly less so.

Cheers. We were thinking £5,995 and see what happens.
