Sorry , but I think he's dreaming......Fleabay linky

Certainly is.

Thats probably what it cost him to build

Same hereGULP !

Nice tho they are, how does the saying go ?
"Never worth more than the sum of its parts "

That's why I'm building my own from scratch

Cost aside, tbh that’s one extremely well done conversion and personally I'd prefer owning the replica. When you add up all the parts you’d be hard pushed to not spend 30k

It does look nice, and well built from the pics, but he's not exactly tempting the bidders in.....

I've never really understood those 'angry' sellers. Of course you're going to get those stupid questions from spotty 17 year-olds who have no intention of buying... it's what they do (whether you ask them not to or otherwise).

£ 30 k for a MR2 turbo clad in some fancy fibreglass?

not for me, thank you very much.

I've known several people over the years who owned various Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s, all of which had horror stories of maintenance costs, breakdowns, I mind an old friends very problematic white countach and how many bits were literally falling off it (like the headlining falling on his head ), I'd go for a good replica any day, especially if it was Jap based

I've built a countach with a V8 rover. Cost me £18K in 1987.
This car is very difficult to create.
A mate of mine owns Parrallel designs and a turn key Diablo (Audi V6 turbo or V12 bmw) starts at around £40K upwards.
£30K for a drive away car is not that bad.

i just love the chavvy description and the fact that he's filled out none on the info part about the car

Aren't you buying the car, not his use of english?
Not everyone who builds a car is talented in the language department

yeah the ad especially the wording, leaves a huge amount to be desired, hardly possible to do a worse job of it. Instantly just brings to mind a ghastly, spotty, white tracksuit wearing chav desperate to get some more drug money or a hookers pimp

italian styling and jap reliability

Sounds like a scam to me.

Why would you list an ad but not give any information about the car? - THEN say no stupid questions!?!?!?

Sounds like a right dickhead to me. Even if i wanted the car, im not so sure id buy it.

I still think I'll sell it, so nurrrrrr.

Cheers

Interesting the phone number given is for fab glass in hull - a fibreglass moulding company, and the pictures are defo Hull as the pictures are taken on Hessle foreshore as thats the humber bridge in the background

Think the car for sale on E-bay is extreme sports cars ex-demonstrator vehicle click link to see. Oh and extreme sports cars are based in hull/Yorkshire, so it looks like the pics similar to ones used on their site, and the phone number is the same one as is listed on extreme sports cars own website

to be fair it looks like a great bit of copy work. theyve gone to a lot of trouble to get it as close as they can :

making the moulds

not my cup of tea i must say but i appreciate the work and quality (or at least as far as i can see from pics)
