Gorgeous! '97 Explosif 18" - Now Sold!

[wadsy]

Ok, £800 is my bottom line on this, so last chance before it goes on ebay :evil: with an £800 reserve! If not sold on there it will be split. I'm sure I can get more than £800 for the parts, but would prefer not to have the hassle!

With much reluctance I've decide to sell :cry: Can't justify this and my King Kahuna unfortunately.

If you want any other pics, please ask and I'll post 'em up.

If I'm way off on price or don't get any reasonable offers then I'll probably split as I'm sure it will realise more that way.

A few optional parts with potential for slight price adjustment

Re: "A bids worth a thousand looks"....

£700

Bit too low I'm afraid. I'm sure I could get quite a bit more splitting and selling the parts off.

Thanks for the offers though

Cheers
