Mileage is about 8,000 thereabouts. Raceco exhaust, all mods by Hyperion whence it comes. Rocket ship of course, eats EVERYTHING. Location UK, but not for long.

Baghdad Blatter Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 very pricey given what other R500's are being priced at here. Robbie Rule Number 1:- Buccaneer comes back alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Robbie - how many of the R500s that you have seen for sale on here have you actually seen in the flesh? I've seen 3 of the 5 or so that have been advertised in the past few months in the metal at some time over the past 2 years and Anthony's was (when I last saw it at Hyperion last July) an absolutely stonking motor car - ideal spec and for me a superb colour. I know what he paid for that car and it's obviously more than what he's selling it for. It's all relative y'see and price shouldn't really be a guide to quality. Incidentally, what spec car do you own and how much did you pay for it? Odds on that you paid over the odds for the car, but I bet you still love it!

StewartG Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 It's the hope that price isn't always a guide to quality that keeps the world searching for a bargain. You could try Howard Dawson's R500 at £4500 less and half the mileage it has a full SLR cage as well and its impossible to find fault with it as it never comes out of the garage.

Sheds Moderator Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I can vouch for the fact that this car is spot on, I had a ride in it summer '03. (Hi Anthony!) It's an alarmingly quick machine and assuming it hasn't picked up any battle scars in a few thousand road miles over the last year and a bit, it's in very good nick. We all know that cars that get ragged round a track every other weekend soon start to look a bit dogeared, and this one has not had that sort of usage.

MikeE Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Did anyone see the low mileage R500 for sale in LF for £20K R400 Duratec 230bhp Build Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Mike, yes, it's Jules' old car isn't it? Stewart - Howard's car is nice, but I think the cage may put people off, despite the fact that I don't believe he's tracked it very often. Paul Stephens took an age to sell Matt Stears' old car - FWIW I think that's 'cos it was fitted with an aeroscreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RESOLVIWOLF Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 good news for me must mean my car is worth at least 40k now, esp when i get the ohlins dampers on, the sequential box and the MXl with full logging and GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Gents I think this is in very poor spirit. Anthony has advertised his car in good faith and knowing him it will be a super example. If you are not buying the car I am sure we do not require your opinion about its pricing and instead would urge prospective buyers to decide for themselves. Sorry to be a bore but if the car is overpriced then Anthony will know because it will not sell and so he won't need you experts to tell everyone.

Marius Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 You lot wouldn´t like responses like that on your ads. Please think, then start typing. Or just leave it. A very well looked after R500 is worth that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 " Eats everything" You see, I immediately thought in the negative as in it eats money, time, cam belts, bearings, valves etc. Not a reflection on this car; just an observation on the English language and my understanding/lack of!!!

StewartG Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Any publicity is good publicity. This one is still near the top of the list whereas the others have dropped down out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 yes it's offered cheap and nothing is faster.. Do more of what makes you happy, undo what doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrolhead Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 My advice would be to close this and start again R500 no 65 😬 I am after a passenger side half door, 6inch and 8inch x13 Alloys + Slicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R500MATT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 What a ridiculous thread this has turned into.................the market will dictate if a car is either not nice or too expensive as generally it will not sell.

Julian Thompson Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Well said- I am sure Anthony does not need additional "ooooh too expensive" comments from bystanders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
