Why don't all we ten tenths members scrape our coppers and life savings together and make a joint bid? A flawless plan, surely!?!

Alright. Back to the topic guys.
How about a little competition? How much will all that lot go for (presuming we can find out). The person who is nearest wins the satisfaction of being a smarty! Without studying it too closely, I reckon £640,560. It would be nice if someone bought it and did something good with it. I'm not sure how feasible that is. |

I could probably afford one of the cars.
I would have to LIVE in it. It would be a bit hard on the wife at first.........stopping at filling stations to bath and things like that, but what the heck, you only go through life once.................. |

Surely, the package is still good enough to compete with the Minardi?

Having watched Bargain Hunt extensively over the past 2 years - hey, I'm a student - I would make a guess at around eighty to a hundred pounds.
Cheap as chips! |
