£8k seems a lot to me for a tiger with a zetec on carbs

don't agree Tony, think its fair to say that kit prices have risen in the last cple of years, its an R6 not an S6....i wouldnt want to pay any more than that figure, but dont think its unreasonable.

I liked my R6, and it sold for around £7,500 three years ago, that was with throttle bodies though, but if kit prices are on the rise the price sounds OK, check it has the latest design of de-dion fitted though, the original design fails......

The car looks good, I like the wheels, same as mine :)
the price quoted on fleabay is the minimum they are expecting, as its up for bidding

Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I'd give them a call. Discuss the details more and see if they are open to a deal. They'd save the expensive eBay fees as a minimum.

Do agree to see if they are open to offers so will call in the next few days,they have it on their website for 9 grand which yes is too much as i see it but they list it as a px.Think that must have been for the white Avon that they have had for a few plus months.Being me i don't mind them making money out of a sale but out of 2 is a bit much.Guess most of the watchers ie 39 at the last count must be SKCC'ers just seeing if i get it. :lol:
