Cross posted on Sylva Chat List too - don't feel obliged to answer on both !

As some of you know, I am looking to sell my Striker, but am struggling a bit with what it is worth.
Spec is below. It has 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. Car is in good condition, but not perfect.

Anyone care to volunteer a value, before I clean, polish and photograph it ready for sale at the weekend ?

Thanks,

Pete

Similar age and spec to mine which is currently for sale at £5,200

So less than £5200 then (!)

I think mine is a fair price with a little room to haggle....alternatively I could say this one is worth £7k (which its not) which makes mine look like a bargain

I'd have guessed at around £5k. With good weather on the way, I'd be looking for at least that. Once it's gone, are you going to stay in touch Pete?

With screen, weather gear and the Fiat twin-cam I thought the other Peter's was a bargain.

Its is You would struggle to build one to this spec for twice the money! Just needs to be found by the right buyer but that's always the way with selling a kit car.

I paid £5.5K for the Phoenix 6 years ago.....which is no help at all

Do you know how much you have spent on it since....I am sure it's more than some small countries GDP (and I am only saying that as I wish I had that much to spend on my toy car )

Thanks for the feedback guys. Car has now been cleaned and photographed, so will get advertised shortly.

Ummm...about a £5 so £5505 (!). It was a Cat D right off (!) as a Striker before being re-shelled as a Phoenix.
