Series 3 is Sold :(

Goodness me it all happened so quickly yesterday.

I put it on the front of our car park ( we have a little gravel car park for customers next to a busy road )

Put £ 1599  on the window.
Within 30 mins had a chap looking round it.

Then after 2 hours had young lady looking round, and going to bring husband back for a drive.

They took it out this morning, SOLD for £ 1599  :(

Im a little upset to be honest as we have spent so much time on it, its a shame to see it go.
We have bought it back to life, everything works on it, so the new owners will be pleased.

No probs,

Dint make anything really, as most of the work was carried out by one of our engineers.
He spent about 12 full days working on it and we spent about £700 on parts etc

Bought it For £ 250
Collected it on a trailer 120 miles round trip
12 days engineer's salary  - about £ 1000
Parts £ 700

Sold it for £ 1600  ( garage next door said it was worth 2K )

mm looks like i made a loss now ! :lol:

Anyway it was fun doing it :)
