What needs work is the car!  I can’t imagine taking on that project.

$15k USD in body parts, probably $20k in mechanical/drivetrain, $50k for body work/paint/assembly...

Ya, that's a good investment for the 2-3 years it'll take to get it running if you got the time and patience.

Hi. Makes my 230 which is for sale at the same price look far too cheap although 90% of the work is done.
Think mines correctly priced though!

Hello, where is you car listed for sale?  why don't you advertise it on here, or is it on an auction?

Hi. Again. It’s not listed nor advertised anywhere right now. I’ve contacted a few friends who may be interested, some of whom are not in this country atm, and so can’t give me an answer. If this avenue is exhausted to me, which may be very soon then I will, judiciously put it in the public domain. I’m too long in the tooth to be putting up with the tyre kickers! Anyone who is reading this and would like to pm me can do so.
However, and I stress this. You will not gazump my limited contacts so far. And, further even if interested it will be offered for public sale regardless. And, I promise on this site first!

To the mods, and senior members of this forum, I apologise. I didn’t intend to circumvent any protocol. I was merely commenting on the original post.
