Title: No way is this worth £7k
Post by: Vamps on 12 March 2012, 22:43:16
I sold one of these, without the bling and in need of restoration work, but including a new motor, for £280 a couple of years ago on the bay of e, and had a further cash offer but stayed with the original deal, I was well chuffed with the price... :y :y
Miss Vamps called it 'Brum' and loved playing in it when she was little......awh... :D :D

This however........ :o :o :o

I think the original BRUM from the tv series might be worth that , my mate use to make those and sell for £50 ten yrs ago . Strange how there's no bids  ;D Someone might bid though , you can sell anything on ebay  :-X....almost  :)

Sorry to go slightly off topic but would you pay £65,000.00 for this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-Ford-Lotus-Escort-RARE-/380192735065?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item588540bf59

There is no way I would that much no matter how rare and how much money I had.
