Looks lovely and clean
Glws
G40's seem to appreciating in value

thats if they sell for the asking price...............

[scotsjohn]

That's very true, I often wonder what real prices are. I'm in a happy situation though, as I don't HAVE to sell. I just feel vaguely embarrassed about having the G, nothing more. I just feel that they're there to be enjoyed and would like this one to go to someone with their head screwed on the right way. The car's good for another 100k easy though, so what I don't feel embarrassed about is the asking price.

Well if ebay is anything to go by this is bang on the price
One is £5000
Another £3750 and the last is £4000
All standard, your getting a modified car at the same price
retro cars im genral are appreciating. Look at mk1 golfs. Seen a few for £9000!!!!

The two that are for sale on eBay are original (not sprayed) and low mileage (50k on one).  So they should be top book for G40's.  One of them is at a dealer as well so bin the warranty and it could be £500 cheaper.

This car has very good spec. given the subframe, suspension and seats etc.  I'd be tempted to buy it myself but I don't need any of those three things and £3k would be my limit so I'm out.

Looks clean!

This car is now provisionally sold to a young man who I'm sure will give it all the TLC a G40 should get.
That being the case and considering I'm now chasing 69 years of age, I don't think I will be having another one. G ownership has been nothing but fun for me; I've driven an original AC Cobra full whack and a Mercedes M Class AMG in similar fashion. I have had a crack at quite a lot of other " performance" cars and have fifty years of driving under my belt and the lasting memory will be the G.
Most of us who own G's benefit greatly from access to the G40 Club and the wealth of knowledge and experience it offers. The club itself seems to be morphing into a more mature venue and I sincerely hope it continues to thrive. My thanks and best wishes to all the stalwarts ( I don't think I have to name names ) and I hope you're all still G drivers ten years from now.
             Regards, John.

I thought you were saving this for me! Glad it's gone to a good home. Totally agree with your comments, though my 'garage' would also have a 7 in it and .... And .....

Hi John........sorry to read that your wife's health prevents her driving and you have to let your little beauty go. We have exchanged posts a year or so ago.  You were so kind and helpful to me as a new Club member, and I appreciated it. All the very best to you and your wife and if you don't get a decent price for your motor, there is no justice.

Hope he looks after it John.
