I'm still on the look out for a Sport Spider....

After a couple of near misses over the last 6 months, I'm still on the look out for a UK registered Sport Spider if anyone is planning to sell

Colour wise, I'm after either yellow or blue

As close to original spec is preferred

Thank you!

Any particular reason for not liking the cars advertised on PH or Classiccarsforsale?

Trevor.

I'd rather buy from an individual than a dealer

Dealers give you a load of "spin" on the car, don't really seem to actually know about them anyway and also don't know the history on the individual cars they have for sale.

Also, looking at all my options - I'd like to think that if I can buy from an owner from a car club, they would have looked after their car well

.. not to mention the fact that the dealers all ask ludicrous prices!
UK cars currently for sale are now more expensive than those in France!

Rupert you are right about the prices but Renault didn't make many so its a supply and demand thing. Also their great and no one has made anything like it since. The Spider affect is still so strong that these little cars draw a crowd where ever you go in them. You would have to spend a lot more to get the same affect a lot more. The fact I have one has nothing to do with it

I was in Belgium a few weeks ago and did think about looking at one for sale over there!

Not a little bit biased then Miles ?!

Was the auction today? How much did the Spider make?

Trevor.

I see it made £22500.00 but uncertain if that was including any fees?

Trevor.

Bidding was £20K

Fees 13.5% + VAT on top

Silverstone Auctions always get pretty strong prices, the one last year sold for £19500 ish as I recall

I was looking with interest as have considered selling mine. £20k is what I thought that car might make actually.

a guy on the forum Keith Hall is looking for a spider..... unless.... he bought the one in the auction

Yes this is his thread I think so no doubt he will see it if he's interested and give me a shout, likewise Rupert.

Regards Trevor.

Trevor is the love affair over do you no longer love your Spider? Just hang on the Summer is comming and you wil regret it.
