Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking down at anybody's kit. Having just built a 300z I know how much work goes into a kit and the time spent working out problems, what I'm saying the price is way to high for what it is. For that type of money you could buy a top end Hawk Cobra or other high end kit cars, or even an E Type FHC, fully restored TR6 etc etc. The price is my issue, but I suppose 'nothing ventured nothing gained'.
Its cars like this that make the average "kit car" look too expensive , unrefined and un viable . At just over £5k its an attractive alternative to most "kits". You could buy six of these for the price of the MX5 kit above !!
How could we comment on that Chris? Literally not enough superlatives for that one! I loved that build, you really did smash ig out of the park. Out of curiosity are there moulds of this, or just a one off?
Your house is worth what other houses near by have recently sold for. Buy a few houses in and area cheaply, wait 6-12 months. Buy 1 more house (of yourself) at much over market value and suddenly the other properties are worth the new price. Sell / Torch them as you see fit and get the new high value insurance / sale price

I need to try that. Just double check my bank balance first.
That's normal on ebay - if any bidder places a bid above the reserve it'l jump straight to the reserve price.
I've had that happen a couple of times, most recently with a bit of electronic gadgetry that was on a 99p start bid, I bid £100 as a virgin bid and it jumped straight to the £80 reserve.
Yes thats true . I've done it before to find the reserve price when the seller won't tell me , then I retract the bid if its too much.
This bidder put in lots of small bids until the reserve was met, you can check this if you press on the bids counter , it will show all bids and when and how much.
