"Original Lotus 7’s are approaching $100,000, Caterhams are selling in the min 50’s range" seems a very optimistic statement!

 

It's a dealership, ya gotta expect this kind of hype.:yesnod:

I like the reason given for why the second owner wanted out of the car:

 

E-bay watchers might notice that we have already sold this car several times on e-bay. The first buyer simply could not fit into the cockpit. (length is not a problem, however seats are narrow). The second buyer expected a soft, quiet, smooth car.

 

I'm not sure how anyone could ever confuse a car with no doors for one that is soft, quiet, or smooth. :jester:

The ad has a picture of a six cylinder Jaguar twin cam engine just before the picture of a Ford pushrod engine. The twin cam looks like it might be in an E type. Maybe they are offering a Jag six as an option for the Westfield. :D

This car has been on Ebay about every 3-4 months for the last year an a half now. As far as I recall, it has never met reserve and actually been sold. I watched it closely every time it came up. So, their talk about Ebay sales falling through is more dealership fallacy.

Since basic Miata based Westfield kits start around $14k without engine, trans, diff and the other Miata based parts as well as any accessories, I would think a completed, sorted car at $17k would be reasonable.

 

Since it didn't sell, offer them $15k and see where it goes from there.
