Good luck with the sale :+1:

Looks a good car - and certainly don’t let it go for peanuts- hold out and the right buyer will come along.

This is among my favourite cars in the club.

Very sad to see your selling Dave, here’s to a quick sale, I personally think it’s on the low price side and is a beautiful example.

Good luck Dave and Sue.

Cheers Steve your words have made me feel happy about the car, I know its sad times and if I had space I’d keep her but its not to be plus its not a daily driver now.
The price is reasonable in the middle as she is not perfect
So far someone from Glasgow is coming to see her and this morning was in talks with a bloke in Malta but he offered 6.5k unseen which I’ve turned down.
Hopefully it will go soon.
Popping to the motorist tomorrow and will have a cheeky for sale in the window
Best wishes to you and @Tracie x

This is one of the finest, totally cared for examples in the UK. I have seen this car n the flesh as well, and totally admired its condition throughout.
I also think it’s on a tad on the low side for its outstanding condition Dave, but you have to go with what you feel comfortable with.
Another red beauty…I can name a few whom are the proud owners of red beauties…
Good luck with the sale Dave

Awww Dave, a sad day, but I’m glad the pain was short for you and that’s she has gone to someone who will clearly treat her well as she deserves and become accustomed to.

We will certainly keep in touch with you and the lovely Sue, thanks for your contribution in the Club and the great memories over the years.

All the best with your new motor when you get her :hugs:

Kind Regards.

Heya :slight_smile: I have just joined the group. I am the lady entusiast, bought Daves car .I have had Jap imports since I could drive starting with a eunos mx5 then a celica gt4-wrc but I always swooned over the gto’s but only now have I been at a place in life where I have the ability to give this car the love she deserves (now called Gerti) . Everyone on here seems so fond of her, so I thought I would let you know I will be using the same garage to care for her needs as Dave, I have climate controlled storage sorted for her and she will be taken real good care of. Dave - Sue your more than welcome to come visit her any time you like and make sure I am doing a good job :slight_smile:
