Morning all,

It's been a while since a sporty car featured in these parts. This is the Apollo GT, a car which may well have appeared in one of the Herbie films - painted yellow iirc, and driven by a mustachioed scoundrel.

I find it amusing that bidding is over £4,500, which, according to the text, is for an emailed spec sheet!

Just to re confirm and re-iterate last paragraph but one of Auction description EBAY AUCTION IS FOR DETAILED SPEC SHEET ONLY. Seriously interested, please contact by email


So which is the "last paragraph but one"?

To me it looks like a description of a car and not that of a "SPEC SHEET".

The seller was obviously hoping to avoid the fees for a high priced sale; what's the betting he pulls the listing before it expires...

How can it be "Unique" when they built thirty of them?

Well, it's the only one with that registration number... and if they'd only made ten, then it would have been very unique Laughing
