    I've had 3 of these great little cars (bought one new as used as a DD in the 80's), and found this one earlier this year- bought from the original owner.

    However, I've subsequently realized it is not a fit for my 60 year old brain, so I'm selling it. Car and I are in Cincinnati Ohio.

    Thanks! It's metallic black or maybe very dark metallic gray, with 32 years of patina.

    Great little car. Wish I had the time, the money and a non-60 year old brain and I'd grab it up. :D

    Yeah, I never know if that's a good thing.

    Already two "experts" out of sync with the market biatching about the asking price. I guess those guys are also looking for mint 356 roadsters and Healey 3000's for $30K. (Old-timers will recognize the BaT banter's similarity to Muppets Statler and Waldorf.)

    Haggarty has valuation sites in UK and US, and both seem to confirm the current values.

    I spent a lot of time on the school bus looking at these in R&T. GLWS. This and the Lotus 7 top my list of 'one day I just want to drive the damn things' cars.

    haha i am not sure. My Lancia Delta EVO and Audi RS2 both made the site. Didn't help sell either, but more eyes is good!

    I think you are right on the money as far as price goes. Which is too bad, cause i can't afford it lol

    Well I just lost 30 mins of my life catching up with what's new on BAT. Mid 80 Maser QP for $7500?!! That site is dangerous

    This car looks fantastic-it's way better than BAT material (just like a lancia delta!) but the eyeballs never ever hurt. GLWS

    Love these!!! Great color, too. Emphasizes the lines and curves so well.

    Part of me is pissed that I missed this car; part of me is glad (hadn't expected the prices to have run-up so much)

    There's also a red one listed here on FC, coincidentally also one I used to own. Lower miles, too.
