I'm afraid so!

Doing up the house and need more load lugging space and for carrying more passengers.

I guess my price will be around £3795. I've seen a few for a fair bit more and they weren't the limited "Edition" model of which only 350 were made. Mine's very pristine and I of course haven't seen the others.

I'll miss my Ti as it handles, goes and stops so well.

I love the shape, colour, interior sports seats, handling, the pace, everything about it really.

If only I could keep a third car!

A friend in the trade looked in glasses and said it should be around £4.5k.

I think around $4k is a very good price for a Ti Sport in this condition, it's also the limited edition model. I'm going to px probably towards the end of next week for a 530d I've seen - dealer offered me £3.5k so if you want to meet me in the middle on price that'd be advantageous for both of us but I'd have to do so soon as the 530d has several people after it.

Hey Dave, sorry I missed your reply 'til now.

It's based on a Pontiac Fiero and the kit's made by a company called candy apple cars and the car is called a finale. Engine is a 2.8 V6 only 140bhp but 185ft/lbs of torque and 0-60 in about 7.5 secs. I'm going to run it with the standard engine for a while and see how I like it like that but I plan to fit a 3.4 V6 Camaro engine (goes straight in) and run nitrous jetted for about 75 extra bhp, should be running a 0-60 time of around 5 secs and about 195bhp, or 265 with the N2O.
