I bid £500 which was promptly rejected. Thought it would look good on the club stand. For £2500 I would want it delivered, with replacement rear lights and gold plated!

[Harris]

I'd want it with a running engine for that price!

[bobthescrapman]

i think the asking price is greedy! I understand this model or the "other" one was sold a few months ago at a Devon auction with a £500 reserve, talk about profit mark up!!

I have seen running Pathfinders go for less money, but it would be a good talking point. I am not sure Denise would see it as an enhancement to the living room, even if I could get it on to the mantelpiece!
