Hi

Quick question(s), You must have seen this advertised recently on fleecebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3...

DId anyone go and see it? Did anyone from here buy it?
I was looking at it for while on auction and did consider to bid it. But wasn't sure what a fair price would have been. Is what it went for a fair price do you reckon?

I am in the market for a G, would prefer a 463 SWB auto, but may consider one of these.

The seller did not go through with the sale. So as I'd enquired about it just before the sale, he has offered it to me for £3500. But he did mention the starter is faulty and that it had been laid up for 9 years before they cleaned it up. What should I look out for and what price would be fair?
He also stated there were some patches of rust.

thanks
H

Why did he not go through with the sale ? laid up for nine years, why ? Did you notice he also has a red 463 on the road, you can just see the bonnet in one of the pictures. He must have some knowledge of G's . It looks tidy, and if you can get the FSH then thats a bonus. £3500 is tops what I would pay for a decent 460, some have paid more but thats my opinion.
