 Oh I agree, not condoning it! The one I saw quoted had the cheek to say "poor student needs money to repay student loan" - so he sells a free charity ticket for thousands! Any monies raised should have gone to the charity not the seller. Sir Bob was rightly outraged!

time for a reality check for the seller???

Everyone has to start somewhere, but ebay is geeting quite a rep at present for new zero feedback sellers who disappear after bidding.  More and more sellers are putting in zero or less than 5 feedback email first or bids will be cancelled. Wonder how many "0" feedbacks bid on the live 8 tickets?

There's a thought, the quest for authenticity these day is intense. Been watching the odd episode of "proffesionals" and "sweeney" on Men&Motors enjoying seeing the cars I remember from my youth (no, not model T's I'm only 50!)

great idea Chas. forget storing it. treat it as a cheap new car. use & enjoy it for 10 years, then chuck when something big breaks.

I know its a yucky colour but I reckon it could be used for weddings.

it could also be registered with agencies that supply vehicles for film & TV work when they need "period" vehicles for a street scene.

I don't believe this motor is worthy of being a museum piece so why not buy it and run it as an everyday car?  There's a good chance you'll get 10 years of relatively cheap motoring out of it and it will be very individual too.  On that basis, it must be worth a couple of thousand?  Look at it as a viable alternative to a 10 year old 328 with 100k on the clock...  Just don't regard it as a 'classic' because it's a base model at the end of the day.

** sits back and waits for the 'classic' E23 brigade to pounce**

It's not that it has no value. It's that the value of an E23 Seven is a hell of a lot lower than some people might initially think it's worth......

The only really sought-after E23s are the 745i Turbo, and the Alpina-treated versions. Since these variations were virtually all LHD and very expensive to start with, the UK interest is going to be minimal.
