These appeared yesterday and seemed a cheap.

Are they a bargain?

im tempted by the 4age gts myself at that price, seems very very cheap. If anyone wants the F27 inspecting i can take a look as its a 10 minutes walk from my front door! might go and have a nosey anyway.

As per similar threads recentley im afraid it may be just a sign of the times

Both seem incredibly cheap / or very good value / nicked? / or sign of the times. The guys are giving them away! Those dodgy 'aeroscreens' look marvellously crap.

Maybe the time of year is also having a bearing on the prices? Hate to think I'm going to lose 7 grand when (and if) I come to sell mine...

The F27 may have V5 issues! I don't think it looks like a 1960 car!

Those 'Aeroscreens' look like they came off a sit-up-and-beg motorcycle!!

says reg 1982., so I expect it was built then, no SVA/IVA etc required and all that. Then like the vast majority of selfbuild cars has had many modifications. After all, we are always seeing how cars are built to pass IVA and then change everything after.
No reason to have V5 issues.

Classified add not an auction seller dosen't have to accept any bid, low price is probably a teaser. You can't tell what the declined offers were, not the most straight forward way to sell a car, seller should have set a realistic honest "offer over" price.

Depends if dvla inspected it, or the builder just used the donor book.. If it says Ford.. Anglia (or similar) on the book your in trouble there..

pretty sure that Formula 27 sportscars were not even born in 1982

kevmcdo - 13/9/11 at 12:07 PM

I thought the started the 27 in the early 90's ??

rgrs - 13/9/11 at 12:15 PM

Interestingly the f27 shows as Make Formula, Model 27, Colour YELLOW and body style SALOON ??

makes you wonder !
