AC Superblower for sale on eBay UK

[Superarnie Mk2]

Saw this on eBay.

   Anyone fancy running a sweepstake?
   
   It looks nice!

[REV]

My bet would be that it won't reach its reserve! Wrong time of year and the UK is not exactly chugging away. I do hope I'm wrong though.
   
   But you are right it does look in lovely order and deserves a nice warm garage to reside in until the sun comes out!

The seller has a website and the cars listed as being for sale at 187.5K Euro.

   Theres a Dax also listed for those that are a little the less flush in their wallets at 57.5K Euro.

Currently at 10% of the asking price...!! Not got a good feeling about this one :-)

It looks a very clean specimen. Does anyone know if this Superblower has ever had any accident damage? Malcolm

I have no information that would suggest that the car has been involved in any 'orfs' and suffered damage of any kind but not a lot is known of the car bewtixt leaving the dealer (Nick Whale I believe) and popping up now.
   
   It was built 1999 but not registered until 2002 (ACSB 7011) LHD.
   
   It is being advertised for €195,000 in Belgium (not to be confused with ACSB 7018 that is being advertised by Andre Bloom for £195,000) so I can only assume that the eBay start price is a call for attention but has a very high reserve.
   
   Peter de Rousset-Hall kindly gave me the following info on the car as AC (Alan L) tried to sell it to him.
   
   The silver and red one that has been for sale for so long at ever
   more optimistic prices is indeed 7018.  It was built just before mine
   and Alan L tried to sell it to me at a very attractive price when it was
   already very close to completion.  I did not like the spec so he
   agreed to build mine at the same price to exactly the spec I wanted.
    7018 then remained unsold for some time and I believe was
   registered in 2002.  As such it was the last complete one to leave the factory.
   According to Alan it had originally been ordered by
   someone who was not able to complete the deal and his
   offer to me was to sell it at a price we had previously haggled
   down to less the deposit the customer had already paid.  
   
   I would like to know if the engine mods have been carried out. I doubt it.
   
   Hope this puts some flesh on the chassis!
   
   Regards

Apologies but ignore the quote I included from Peter as this refers to the Andre Bloom car (7018) however the info on 7011 is correct re build date, price etc but the actual registration date has not been confirmed.
   
   I have a copy of the actual ad which originally stated a build date of 1966. This I believe has now been corrected.

   Seems to be a little discrepance between what the seller wants and what the potential buyers are ready to pay

[TLegate]

The market has spoken, the value is set. But I might be prepared to go as high as £39,900.... :-)
