I wonder if this will ever get to be a classic for under 10k, it's under 10k new. :)

Not in BYD's interests to disrupt the European Market where they can sell their vehicles in at more profitable prices than they can in China. By the time the UK Price is announced it will be comparable to other vehicles in the same class.

I'll copy your post/my reply to the Electric Cars what's available thread

Is it going to struggle to find a market :?: Probably.

Nice colour though. No walk round video yet. If you are a potential buyer with a genuine interest in bidding the walkround vids and start up are thorough.

WB and Sons October 21st 2023 Auction Killingworth

I'm not entirely sure why - and you'd think I'd know better, but the Alfa 164 V6 they've got at the auction appeals to me. Last MOT'd 15th November 2018 and done just under 50 miles since then :shock:
Estimate £1500 - £2500

Oh that big Alfa is lovely. Is £1500-£2500 sensible, sounds very very cheap!?

Yes Neil that would indeed solve my issue but at £3k I'd rather use that money to get a better lower mileage auto to be honest!! :)

Moving pictures have now arrived for those who want a decent nose around the GSX for 8 minutes 12 seconds, without having to drive all the way to Killingworth to kick the tyres yourself.

If it lives in Killingworth there is a chance that I may have seen it.

Could there be a better bike carrier in the world? MOT, Tax and ULEZ exempt a real head turner! Imagine it with a personal logo on the sides, or even do the rear window conversion and you have a countryman at van prices!! :-D

I missed the comments about the Duck clutch but I've just had a read of it, first thing that hit my eye was 'clutch peddle' :)
The other thing that came to mind was that I've seen it before on some Austin and Morris cars. It was sort of OK but a bit of a pain and not very successful.
