His name is Alex Charlton. If you follow The American Job group on FB you can see his post there. He's flying back home in a few days so is trying to figure out what to do with the car. Hopefully he can sell it soon!

Did any of you that went to MOTD get a good look at it? I wouldn't know if it's worth asking price. If I know that, I'd share the post.

I don't know much about classics so not sure what they normally go for. Also remember its for charity. The price might be slightly higher than normal because of the history of the event.

Good point about charity.

I can tell you that they KILLED it on the Dragon. I was on a run with them, and because they were in front I assumed we would take it at an easy pace. NOPE!

Hill, does it say manual or auto?

Hey all,

 

I will weigh in on what I can read in the description, first I was not at the dragon so I did not see the car in person.

 

From what I have read it has a lot of the upgrades you want to improve the comfort and safety of the ride. As long as there no rust issues this is a very reasonable price.

 

It does have the middle motor 998, not a 1275. Watson has the 998, and can run 60mph on the highway. the bonus of the smaller motor is reasonable prices, this same car with a 1275 would be 12 to 15k.

 

Ray you still looking?

Corey, yes, still looking . Would you know how much could be taxes and registration?

Corey, yes, still looking . Would you know how much could be taxes and registration?

 

VA sales tax on vehicles is 4.05% which on a private sale you pay to DMV when you register the vehicle. You pay 4.05% of whatever is written on the back of the title when the previous owner sign it over:wink:

 

Registration is the same as any regular car if you put regular plates, to include personal property tax. If it is going to be a weekend toy, I would put antique plates, 50 bucks for a lifetime registration, no personal property tax and the restrictions are very lacks in Virginia. Basic it can't be a daily driver and that it.

 

Also since it is a 89, it is 26 years old and except from all emissions.:top:

We can discuss at dinner

[1975_mini]

I did notice in the photos that the are running British number plates, if the vehicles do not have US titles there is a bit of extra paperwork. But since it is over 25 years old, mostly just a formality.
