I wonder what the reserve is - condition is OK and mileage is great, but the engine and LHD will count against it for many.

Fantastically low mileage though and it will have that great cubby/box over the glovebox too.
Left hookers are not that hard to drive in the UK once you get used to it. Probably not too far from me but i MUST say no, cant, no, musnt have another!!

I like the stickers on the speedo, must relate to how fast you can go in the relevant gear, or the speedo is out by a large margin?

Interesting...!
I thought the stickers were just to convert to mph... 30, 40 etc?
Perhaps not... Not too far from me and someone on here did say that the 14 was the perfect model?

I've just checked out H998 DKM for the latest bid and I couldn't believe that the Reserve Flag has still not gone out @ £750 (As I was going have a bid on it to Export it to a LHD country for a potential customer, but the current price has scuppered that :( ) so what's the betting on this one, to extinguish the reserve price ?

£1000+ !

:lol:

H998 DKM - Red 14RE Left-hand drive, (E-bay)

Post by RxBX »

Didn't Sell @ £920 (Resevere not met) so I wonder what the reserve was ?

However Re-listed !

Has it had some recent touched up paint work, looking at the wheel trim and sill photos (looks like some Red over-spray in those areas) ?

Yes - and on the door handles and bump strips as well. Wonder what other little surprises are lurking out of sight?

It seems quite optimistically priced or is that just me showing my ignorance. £920 seemed quite good money?

/\ Agreed, but obviously the seller thinks different !
E-bay Sellers Q&A's wrote: Q: Hi Was the car originally registered in France? If so do you have the carte grise etc. What is your reserve price? Thanks Peter
A: Hi ,the car has been registered in the UK all the time,as confirmed by the logbook, I would rather not disclose the reserve price Many Thanks
I wonder if the seller may regret not setting the reserve say at £900 the first-time round, as this tends to bring a better price usually, however time will tell when the current listing ends !

:lol:

I think for a 1.4 with no power steering and with the wheel on the wrong side of the car, low mileage or not £900 was a good shout!

That really nice white St Tropez 1.4 didn't make that money a few months back.
I reckon he'll regret not taking £920 for it.
Incidentally the red on the handle and strip might be coloured polish
