Hi People,

After owning the car for 4 years, I am looking to sell the Beat.

The car was prepped by Backyard Special and is in excellent condition. I'll get full details on later today. What would people say it's worth in todays market? I'd rather sell to club member in any instance. Few pictures below;

Brief Spec;

Unless extensively modified the price of a used car will rarely increase with the modifications on the car. It may be better to sell the backyard stuff separately.

Good mileage for the car, it's about cambelt time - has this been done? The drivers seat puts me off slightly, would prefer an original.

I reckon it's worth about £2200 - £2750

i'd probably agree with mylee - you'd get more if you took off some of the backyard stuff and sold it to us lot! :D
without wanting to sound like a circling vulture, i'd certainly be interested in a couple of the bits you have and im sure a few others would be as well...

Considering to sell the extra's separately. As for the car, the cambelt was changed at 23000 miles.

The bits which maybe up for sale seperately on a exchange basis;

Backyard Special Wheels
Backyard Special Spec Suspensions
Backyard Special Rear Hatch
Backyard Special Bucket Seat
Backyard Special Roll Cage


Also for sale separately;

FGK Legalis 4 Exit Exhaust

Any interest?
