Hi all,

Saw this a few weeks ago with a guide price between £32-35k and was interested to see what it would sell for.

Now it says its availiable to buy now for just under £42k

Although it is immaculate £40k for a well restored P1 with 63,000 miles is a bit much or is it just me?

Funny thing is that this exact car was up for sale back in Jan '14 for £7,950...albeit not in immaculate condition. Although a 22B with only 2,500miles did sell recently for just over £73k.

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

 

Realistically its a £14-15k car with the restoration thats been done to it!! But I guess there trying there luck, and if they can get the £42k as advertised then good luck to them!!

 

More proof the world has gone mad

 

+1
There are much better cars out there for £40k.

 

this was an incredible restoration, not a tidy up or half ar$ed job, incredible detail taken,
Reached 32k at auction, which is a fantastic price for a P1
40k no chance,
but then again that 22b (Prince Naseems) for 73k had been smashed up twice lol

 

Laughable
Must come with a free toaster !!!!

 

32 large is crazy money

 

I'd never spend £41,000 on that

 

A pretty rough and slightly boy racer'ish 22B went through auction last week in Japan and made £70,000... sort of gives you an idea of where things are going hey...

 

Silly money

 

You would be mad to pay that sort of money.

 

The alloys haven't even been refurbished in the correct P1 colour . Should be anthorite/gun metal, not gold!

 

If this goes for 42k then im defo putting mine up for 20k

 

Your quite right, 17'' Anthracite wheels were the original wheel size & colour fitted on the P1's, however you could get a Prodrive wheel upgrade, 7.5 x 18" P-WRC1 Gold Wheels and Tyres
I believe this car has the above fitted

edit: it even says all this in the auction write up LOL

 

For £42k I'd want them diamond encrusted!

 

I'd want a 22b

 

I'm afraid that boat has sailed which again is mad money seeing as the price of a 22b has quadrupled over the last 5 years or so.!

 

Performance Cars that were built for the working man.
No longer affordable to the working man.

Absolutely ludicrous, fed up of seeing it, between the idiots with the fords and the dipsticks paying way over the odds for the Japanese stuff, they are just inflating the market for these cars. Putting them out of the reach of the people and market they were designed for.

It's sad more than anything

 

You only have to go to the car for sale section on here to find "ludicrous "
What some folks ask is Comedy Central in my eye !!!!
