Un-started Royale Sabre kit
There is an un-started Royale Sabre kit just been listed on ebay.
This has nothing to do with me and I have no knowledge of this particular kit or the owner but I do know that my purchase of an unfinished kit did prompt some interest on this forum. Good luck if you fancy building yourself a high quality classic kit car. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...E:B:SS:GB:1123 It's a big kit so you really need a double garage (or a couple of lock-ups :lol:) so it is not for the faint hearted!! |
nice spot. Will be keeping an eye on it but suspect the reserve is more than whats in my piggy bank :violin:

I think someone might have been reading this thread as it went for exactly £2k
|
Yes, it is fascinating that it went for exactly the reserve price. Let's hope the new owner starts a build thread here... :smile:

Another in an auction
And now there is a complete car up for auction at Bonhams in March.
http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20925/lot/353/ This could be real bargain with an estimate of only 1500-2000 GB pounds |
Yes let's hope so, would be nice to see another Sabre on the road.
And another great find....that would be a bargain if it sold within the estimate, although I very much doubt it will. Needs total restoration by the looks of things. I have the auction in my calendar now to remind me:thumb: |

The poor old Sabre is a very bad way and has a serious attack of rust on many of the parts that are visible. Yes, it is already registered, so no IVA testing required, and it does have an engine (:lol:) but it's in a very, very poor condition. I wouldn't advise bidding on this car unless you've seen it and appreciate how much work is involved. But they do have some other glorious cars in the auction if you've got £50,000-60,000 to spare :wink: http://issuu.com/bonhams/docs/20925-en?mode=a_p The BMW 328 is really beautiful and would be my 'Lotttery win' car :madgrin: |
I was tempted to go and bid as it looked ok in the pics, got as far as registering but think it will cost too much when you add in the 15% buyers premium + VAT plus transportation costs, plus the actual restoration :faint:
Still tempted to go though.... |

But if you are tempted be prepared to spend a lot of time and a lot of money on replacement parts. It could be fun to go and watch the auction and drool over the other cars but I think it will cost you £20 to get in tommorow. |
Well, the sabre went for £3450 inc premium according to the website. I figured the estimate was a bit low.
Just missed out on a Merlin kit on ebay, the buyer got a good price, I was prepared to pay a little bit more but I didn't play the game very well :der: Your BMW 328 re-creation went for a whopping £135,900 |

Shame about that Merlin un-started kit. It really is amazing how many un-started kits show up! |
More of an 'unfinished' rather than un-started kit but for anyone looking for a Royale Sabre project.....there is an unfinished Sabre currently advertised on Complete Kit Car classifieds
http://www.completekitcar.co.uk/classifieds.html If it really does has a good paint job (as claimed), then it might be a good buy, depending on the build quality and how long it's been in storage, etc. I have no knowledge of the condition or any connection with the seller. |
Another unfinished Sabre for sale.....
http://royaleownersclub.org.uk/forsale.asp Hopefully someone out there will save this kit from further decay. |
Can't help feeling that is probably a grand over priced. It is ovno though so you never know....
|
A very rare unfinished Sabre for sale....
https://www.shpock.com/en-gb/i/Xvc6w...tm_source=mail Nothing to do with me but sometimes people express an interest on here. The Sabre is no longer manufactured so this could be of interest to someone? |
