How much would you pay for the car?
Basic model is 2001 with 71k on the clock, but has all the 'extras' and mods done.
Been made an offer if I want to sell, but not sure on prices - especially now I know the hardtop is in the region on £1k alone ! Lol

The car is probably to custom to put a price on.
The base car with hardtop probably 3k.
It's what someone thinks a custom paint job and bodykit are worth?
What did
@tomaky get for his? Practically gave it away to dick from memory who then sold to to someone in France.
What did you run at the pod? Is that Nitrous you are running?
Yes it's a nitrous kit. Needs a new fuel solenoid to run, but all good apart from that.
I think it ran about 13.4 or around that at the pod - it was quite a few years back now.
Dynoed at just over 200 BHP with the nitrous running

Yipiiiiii, finally sómeone!!!
I would say you need to fix the nitrous to get the best price.
Then its just a case of advertising it at a very high price and see what interest/offers you get.
You can always come down in price.
As I said on the Facebook post for it, photos don't give the true impression, I agree with Simon just aim high and weed out the chancers.
The only thing I've ever found troubling with it is the wheels, they're quite Marmite but that's a very easy fix.
What are the legal implications of having NOS into the UK

I would say you need to make it a free option. That way it is either a selling point or not a deal breaker.

They are SO wrong about it being harmless and safe. I know. It can detonate. I've done it. I suggest you Google 'nitrous oxide explosion'...

Custard powder factory explosion,I kid you not.

Ever observed that grane collection and distribution building are tówers? That is the same reason why they have roofs designed to pop up/off.
The thing with NO is that although it is indeed completely inert and harmless up to a point, óver that point the seperation of the molecules creates enough energy to keep its own chain reaction going. This is what makes it great rocket fuel. Took me quite a bit to gét that :-O
During my business life I visited many different industries. One Company that made fireworks had just developed a water based (fire work) rocket propellant.
Even then, in the 80's there were degrees of safety at work and the Manager that was with me explained that the assembly of the fireworks was done in small timber shed like units. This because if something went wrong the walls would blow out and reduce the effect of the explosion.
There was of course an evacuation procedure, the guy explained that if the alarm went off while he was with me I would be able to find him by the Main Gate.
The rocket propellant development, I was later told, was taken over by the MOD and so no fireworks on that basis.
