It even has the original dodgy panel gap on the front o/s wing/valence. Must be worth £20K!

Building the 'Mark II' fastback Rapier ('Arrocuda').

It was £24,950.00 last month !
Thing is, What's a Tiger worth ? Top Condition say £7,000.00. So, given this car is in top condition why is it 20 grand ?

Because lots of money has been spent on it ?

I have an MG ZT Diesel Auto. It's worth £2,000.00. If I spent £18,000.00 on it, would it be worth £20,000.00, No, It would be worth around £2,500.00. You don't get back whet you spend on cars, simple as !

I have to agree with Mooresy, its a a lovely unmolested car which the seller says is very rare, but £20,000 seems a bit pricey to me.
I do love the colour of it though. Perhaps someone whos paid their mortgage off and is not earning much interest on their savings might have a punt on this car as its being suggested by the seller as a rising investment. Does any rapier owner look at their car as a investment? when I had one I sunk a ton of money into it and never considered how much I would get back. it was a labour of love and errr visa transactions

Sundance yellow is the colour of the Avenger Tiger Stig. That's the colour that the H120 I looked at a couple of weeks ago originally was.

Anyway, Here's another Rapier.

This one sold on ebay last month for a little less than half the price its on for now.
Mind-you. it looks in better shape than the yellow H120 I viewed. The paint job is at least original,(warts 'n' all).

Does that look an original colour? I thought it was Golden Sand at one point, but it looks too 'brown'. Any thoughts anybody?

Well it looks like it never sold, Not enough Avenger nuts around with 20 grand I'd say. It whent to auction a couple of days ago (est £12,000 to £15,000). It would be interesting to see if another dealer has bought it and will want 20 grand for it again (bare-in-mind this was originally on for 25 grand).
Just goes to show...
