What was it worth? £2,400. But that's not really the point!

Well there is now one less with mine now having bitten the dust. For the record, purchased straight out of Lookers Showroom in Chelmsford, October 2005, Clearly one of the last batch's of FF's to come to the UK. Up for 14,600 if I recall correctly. Think I secured it for £13,500.

Hopefully no lasting damage. Likely to be the end of an unbroken era of fun cars/hot hatches in my family during my lifetime. I remember them all: 998 cooper (the only one I never drove) Mini 1275gt s MG Metro turbo MG Maestro 205 Gti 1.6 205 Gti 1.9 309 Gti 106 Gti Ending now with the Clio...

The near side didn't get away unscathed either!

It wasn't supposed to end this way! My wife was on the way to work and was punted across the road by a milk tanker. Ended up facing the way she had come from. In hindsight, when I consider the contact point behind the pillar, she us a very lucky lady. some whiplash but hopefully ok. On this...

It's a reward (transaction fee) for solving a cryptographically secure mathematical puzzle using huge amounts of computing power and energy to achieve an outcome that effectively confers the right for you to close and update a digital ledger of transactions (Assets)on a decentralised network...

If I had the money and I could find an example of an absolute favourite from my past and with the right provenance.......... There could just be someone out there. What price do you attach to regret on having sold something you cherished? Or on nostalgia even? As a non trophy, but ff, owner from...

Quotes from as far north as pontefract to as far as the south coast, £665-730 seems to be the band including dephaser. Dealers obviously a lot more. Local specialist, Home Counties, ex Renault approved, wanted £770 without the dephaser! Unnecessary in their view unless it was noisy already...

Described as Pearl yellow and no clarification of whether it is a full fat. Hardly an expert seller in my opinion.

Well I eventually pushed to get this saved from being a write off. Independent engineer's report said full repair would have been £2,945 inc vat with replacement door skin and rear 3/4 panel. He offered a valuation of £2,250 (and then £120 scrap value) after he had been picky about some other...

I see you are in Hemel? I've never seen you! I have already considered taking mine as far as Rentech. I was always reasonably ok with the technicians at Hardings who looked after mine ok. They recognised it was a good enough example to merit some care and attention but I am not daft enough to be...

Not claiming through my own insurance (see separate thread)but against the third party through the accident handling company included as a small component of my annual premium. Independent engineer report had the damage at £3000 and so they determined the car would likely be a write off and a...

Hemel

Well I need the best job that I can. I have no desire to offload this car except on my own terms!

Against OEM it was a bargain!
