That Oak green 5th gear mk2..

...is for sale HERE.

Not quite sure what he is doing asking 8500 though. As far as i can remember it had a new engine and some cheapish shocks and springs fitted. Just because it cost 5000 to upgrade, DOES NOT make your car worth 5000 more.

Especially when you compare it to db's car which is in a whole different league, and nearly 4000 less.

That said, nice car though

 

Hahaha, Christ. So he's added 7000ish of tax just because it has been on TV? Great.

And the word "mint" can still be used even though there're lots of rusty components and loose wires in the engine bay?

 

wow that engine bay is almost as rusty as mine!

 

If it gets anywhere near that price I'll buy a hat and eat it, the engine bay is a joke for a 'mint' 8.5k car, I turned down a 16v the other day for 200 quid that had a better bay than that!

 

Could of given it a wash/polish and some black to black or similar for 8500. Tight get.

 

Trying to sell it on the TV programme alone. Joker. You can buy cars better presented with better mods than that all day long for 6k less.

 

Noticed a few tasty 20 valvers going for around 5k on there. The S3 engined red one on the bbs's is yum yum

 

Based on that I'm revising my price to 13k, bahahaha. What a joke. I bet some tit will buy it too.

 

Cock.

 

I'm pretty sure that Volkscars supplied that car to the show,

He likes to charge a pound or 2 for a car as well.

 

Thats taking the royal **** just because its been on tv they think its worth that.

 

Someone not quite sure about correctly pricing a car methinks. Never understand sellers who don't clean a car when trying to sell it.

 

It was Volkswizard.

 

It was mint, the state of the engine bay speaks volumes about the way the car has been (not) looked after tbh.

as for the price -

 

Ouch! I paid 1100 for my 'valver last year which I thought was fair enough.

Not sure I'd want to pay an extra 7k for a car that's just had Tiff bouncing off the redline on a newly bored engine.

And having had another look at the 'bay on the video, and the pic on Pistonheadz I can't believe they're one and the same after just 2 years. Don't think it's had the TLC most of us would have given it had we won that comp.

 

Jesus

The engine looks well rusty!! Im sure it didn't look that bad when it was on fifth gear.

Based on the work that been done, and as its an oak green, i'd be happy to part with no more than 2500, not 8500

Looks like the bonnet has been left open for the last two years. Look at the fan cowling and the alternator!

 

excuse my ignorance but does +100cc, fast road cams, exhaust and filter equal 185bhp ? thats called dreaming in the tuning circles i visit.

 

think they changed the pistons and it's now running higher compression

 

Wossner pistons iirc. Could be mistaken, would need to rewatch 5th gear vid.

 

also possibly JE pistons as thats what I had in my old 1.9 from TSR.
