That car wasn't in the best condition unfortunately when I saw it a couple of months ago

It doesn't look that terrific now either, you'd think they would have made an effort and at least thrown a bucket of water over it. It looks as though its been starved of any TLC.

Also might be a good idea to replace the Driver side Headlight Bulb before taking a picture as its faulty
Picky I know but when selling something it might be best to put it in the best possible light |

Note also that the close-up pics were taken when the car was wet I came away thinking this car will eventually end up as a track-slag |

Nope, just being sold through a dealer/auction house for the owner I think. Hasn't been VRT'd (which costs about €4k to make it "legal" over here with RoI plates), so probably not going to be bought by anyone over here at that price and in the condition it's in

That 'VRT' is steep, it will probably end up going North, bringing it over here would be like 'Coals to Newcastle' SB's don't seem to be selling all that well at the moment, PH has a few which have been on there for months.
As you said it may well end up as a track car, but not at that asking price.

VRT and our motor tax regime =
Anyway, yep that car was being advertised for €30k (c. £24k) a couple of months ago. But even at anywhere near the new lower price I just can't see them selling it and may even end up getting broken. A real shame |

Is the VRT similar to VAT, or Import tax/duty payable on it. Excuse the ignorance it's a while since I was last over there.
