It will be considerably more than the ~£26k that #317 achieved at the weekend, but there are unknown recommissioning costs to take into account.

Despite apparently being stored well, it would be a brave soul that bought without a viewing unless money is no object...?

£35k plus I reckon.
It has to go in a collection with that mileage.

Shipping, most probably a Blind purchase, and for me, only 300 miles since 2007, is a worrying amount, however it was stored. Some things need to be kept moving and I think as rare as it is, these 3 factors will detract from the price. - as much as I’d like to see £35k

I would have thought someone might bid to £30K, but cars like this are real one-offs and the location probably doesn't help. But it will be interesting to see what it reaches.

If it's a 'unicorn' car with that mileage I honestly don't think the purchaser will care that it's in NI, or that it may need some work.

Those type of cars, especially 'rare' ones like the Roadster S, could fetch big money.

Apparently there are many financial institutions that buy up 'rare' cars as investments for the future. If one of those is interested there ain't many private buyers that could compete with their buying power.

A stored, delivery miles (or nearly), Sierra Cosworth 3 door was sold a couple of years ago. It looked in a right state as had been sat in a barn for nearly 40 years untouched. It achieved around £180k IIRC.

There is another uber low-mileage RHD RS - it only gets intermittent MOTs but is actually used between them, it was under 8400 miles at its last test. If I'm honest I'd rather buy that one than one that has sat unused and unserviced for 20 years
