Phil’s car for sale again?

Looks like it to me
My butt would be just fine in that one. Change the colours of the wheels for me and that'd be about it. This should be fun to watch. Dr. Phil's old IM ?
Did you notice the interior steering column, below the dash has rust on it, wow, damp areas can get rust on metal all over. Nothing that a little TLC won't fix.

I think the wheeels were done to match the black hardtop
Yup, could be. No pics with the top down either. Wonder why ?
Recall Phil having the then new Beck silver wheels re-powder coated for the bad boy look.
My old car. He kept it less than a year. I sold it with about 20k miles. Think I had it for 3.5 years. Nice car. Got it after my motorcycle wreck when I wanted to slow down. Not any more. Yep, Beck 356C steel replica wheels powder coated black to match the top. High performance magnaflow exhaust I built then ceramically coated black. Marchals also powder coated black. I did a bunch to that car. The hard tonneau with head rest was just stupid. Can't believe the time and money I put into that car to personalize it. But it was fun. My current spyder is perfect (for me). Just hit the start button and drive. If anyone is thinking about bidding on it I would suggest reading my old posts. Feel free to PM me. I think if you could get it for $40k or less it would be a great deal. IMs and everything else do seem to be appreciating very fast.
Your car has the bones to do anything with it and at $40 it would be good value and allow other opportunities for the new owner to sort it out again. I missed the opportunity to try that hard top 
Ebay ad is down already. Sold or?
Ad is back up
That car....................is bloody near perfect.
Seconded. I don't understand why it hasn't found its forever home yet.
I'm the high bidder at $26,000
What do you think the odds are nobody bids in the next week 
(reserve is not met)
lol ... Your on a WNGD and a prayer .... , I think not a chance but who knows how things will go... do you plan to import it or keep it in the USA ?
Its going to take $40k. Ask me how I know.
There may be some price resistance due to the color. Most of us here love it, but it won't appeal to everybody.
I was actually a hate the color guy. My wife loved it. Very polarizing color.
I thought about painting the car black all the time. I was actually going to leave the interior paint. I was even thinking about leaving some beige grey (the color of the car) gumballs on the car. Funny what you think of after a few bourbons.

Neither. Helping the auction along is just a hobby for a hobby that helps me keep tabs on values going forward and see where bidders auto-bidding limits are. If there was ever a chance I won it, I'd figure it out quickly though
And I like the color way more than than just black. I love the hardtop being a different color than the body and matching the rims
I'm a lover of stone grey on Speedsters but many in that color appear too OD green. Plus it takes just the right color plum interior to set it off.
The IM Mercedes color is more forgiving (while being different) and the light interior and dark top rear make it look classy. If it were under my tree - I'd paint the wheels 2 tone. Leave the black center and add silver outer rim.

I do think that when your getting over $40K in real dollars, take that as USA dollars it gets excessive for us northerners with funny money, aka, monopoly $
I think it is a nice combo of colours, in any case, once you have a colour you surely will have second thoughts that you should have, could have had another colour ... just saying
