Tre Zarcoff Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Looks nice, but I think it has A032R's on? Not heard of A042's, but I am happy to be corrected. I like cream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormcp Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Any offers boys and girls? or it looks like I'll have to sell the wife instead... Regards Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrelevant Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 it looks like I'll have to sell the wife instead How much? Any photos? By the way . .. as far as the car goes, I'd have thought it would be popular with the Europeans, especailly the Germans and Swiss - they like their big power Vauxhalls. Might be worth trying to find their local forums and advertising there - just incase they haven't seen the PH and BC ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormcp Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi Adam, Appreciate the help, good idea. P.S. I'll have a chat with the wife and see what her current rates are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Unfortunately, you won't sell it to the Swiss as it will never get through their import MOT. This is a stonking car and the spec is superb, someone is missing out on a monster HPC at a very sensible price 🥰 Mike C No longer K9 JPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finmac Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Dont get your hopes up with the continentals too much. When I was selling my Big BHP VX, got lots of "interest" from Europe. Basically spent weeks waiting for guys to try and get permission from this agency and that agency only for them all to pull out one after the other because they could not import it. Sorry dont mean to be a downer, just relaying my experience. All the best with the sale!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
