It’s the dealer I bought my Unipower GT off 8 years ago, they’re asking €85k for BCR.

FFS, really, what next...........?

Joking aside, if anyone is stupid enough to buy them, there is a potential safety issue - maybe its just Darwinian.....

I wouldn't be prepared to do that either. Perhaps he was messed about in a previous listing? I'm sure it isn't the first time that car has been listed. Rusty isn't it! :o He hadn't put much effort into storing/preserving it had he :lol:

Couldn’t find mention of V5, I think, if you apply for v5, if you get old reg, it will be non-transferable....Which will affect the value.....?

Minded to think it just gets rid of the dreamers - Given one image is of the vendors mobile phone number and viewing is available and recommended I'm sure any sale will happen outside of Ebay and involve a fistful of readies.

The fate that has befallen BCR is an absolute tragedy!

Not so long ago it was one of the most interesting survivors, with a tremendous history. It has now been turned into a totally bland, badly put together travesty of a Mini Cooper S. The idiot that has ruined that wonderful car should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. From top to bottom it looks like it has been restored by a half wit!

Treated correctly the car would have been one of the most significant "survivors" with well known Rally & race history. It would have been well up there with cars like Peter's & not far off "Works" mini value. Now it has been wrecked it is nothing more than a very poor reshell job that anyone with half a brain would walk past without a flicker.

Just look at the "quality" of the work carried out! I was managing to get a better door fit that this 30 years ago!
