I think that is reasonable if its built to high standard, have you ever added up the cost of your own? I have and it scares me lots!

You'll note its been advertised 4 times and hasn't sold though, as the old saying goes, "Its only worth what someone will pay you for it".

It's a funny car really. 1990 converted clubman. Nice job, but £6k is too much, maybe £4.5k if someone really wanted it.

It's high spec and 180bananas (doing the Baldwin conversion) seem reasonable.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

As far as I know. PB only reads crank bananas. Nice clean car though, albeit the colour isn't my taste.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

you can advertise a car for any price you wish - getting someone to hand over the folding is another issue all together.

nice looking car though

Mostly agree with all comments, when we used to sell cars especially tuned cars we or I used to take the power unit out and split it so people could see the bits inside, part of the extra deal was then to rebuild at extra cost or to dismantle the car and sell of in big lumps.

Getting folding can be hard work, especially in these hard times, not being to disrespectful to all you guys but I have found it best to go the extra mile.
