As per your msn mate, absolute bargain   :o

I guess it's the wrong time to sell a rare car, just before christmas etc etc.

That's my old G40.  Those photo's are the ones I took outside my house when I sold it 15 months ago.
I was the second owner and had the car for about 4 years.  It never missed a beat.  Flip if I'd known it was for sale I would have bought it back for that price!

The new owner will not regret their purchase. It was well looked after by me.

Cheers
Craig

G's are a poor man's fast car. (Harsh but you can see my point)

Its a relatively cheap toy. When people tighten their belts, especially over christmas, toys are the first to go.

Hi guys, it was me that won the g40. Sorry to anyone that bid and missed out. the car is really good, third one ive now had and the best so far. Drives like new and the only let down is the rust around the windows which is no big problem. tom

Hi Ben, it was me who you bought K776 PKR from. I've never seen it on here or any of the other forums since you sold it; it was SORNed at one point but is currently taxed according to the DVLA. The guy I bought it off paid his mate £300 for it. I bought it for £600 (tax and MOT but minus charger) and spent at least £1000 on parts before you had it. I've still got my red G40. Good to see you are getting yet another one!

Nick

Hi nick yes I've missed the g40 too much.  I've been searching high and low for another to replace the White one.  I think I've found one tho. So new year should see me in my new project:-)
