That's three Mk 1 & 2's and a Mk 4 on the bay at the moment, bad sales timing I think, But I hope they all make improving prices!
Then maybe some of our Midas community can reduce their stock holdings! I think it's amazing how these cars keep turning up and are being moved on! They are certainly not rare.

blimey. Good luck to him. I have seen loads of the cox's early version of the GTM go for pennies.

Now that's a good sales pitch, he has built up a good history for the car and made it sound rare and unique, and its pitched so you are buying a piece of motoring history! But the truth is it is just another GTM, a very good GTM, but just another plastic car and unfortunately has a rusting steel chassis and an outmoded A-series engine!
I think we need some our more outstanding Midas cars, featured in magazines, like Practical Classics or Classic Monthly. the Midas concept is too over the hill for the modern kit mags.. We need to try and create some desire. This advert is very good at that! after all there are only two selling techniques fear and desire!
There we go Stuart I've opened up the debate!

Now there a thought "The Coronation Street Midas" With Bizbaz as star of stage and screen! My wife would be impressed as she's a "Cori" fan!

Why would you need a disclaimer from anyone?

Its your car, do what you want with it.

Its all bollocks about getting permission from anyone for something you own. Alistair should be shaking your hand doing free advertising for him.
