Sad to see how little money is offered for a car that has had that amount of work done to it -- the ghastly (IMHO) dash excepted.
When you consider that the Team Sprite car fetched over 4 times the current bid for this car, you wonder what is different here... Or is it just fundamentally that Bugeyes are more valuable?
I do think the Bugeye should hold its value a little better, if only because they were only really produced for the 3-4 years and have their unique exterior look (even though they are all so similar under the skin). That said, a good car is a good car and should be valued by its condition! I do not think that dash does anything for the value or appeal of the car (even though it is quite well executed artistically). The length of the write-up would put me off a bit. Long-winded histories instead of the straight facts make me a little suspicious of the "hard sell" as to the "real" value of the car!
If I bought that car the first thing I'd do is find a replacement dash. The one that's in there is pretty funky, be cool to have hanging on the wall in the garage, but not in the car. Second thing: junk the carpets and get the correct red ones in there.
