I was watching this on eBay.

On a Q, needed a new chassis as the pictures showed enough work that needed doing you knew there was a lot more, winch bumper not included.

No engine
No gearbox
No transfer box
No propshafts
Rotten interior.

Was it really worth the £945 someone paid?

I was watching it for curiosity, I wouldn't have paid that for it I'm having guess someone is needing all the panels
& is sitting with another chassis or project

Almost a grand!

I came to the conclusion it was bought as a panel donor as there isn't really much else you could do with it without spending big on new & galvanized parts.

I am watching a couple of others as well just out of idle curiosity but I am a bit flabbergasted TBH at the money complete(pardon the pun) wrecks are going for.

Not worth it.
But it's a Q so just think what someone can do to it.

I think people get caught up in the moment in auctions an tend to over spend once they've had a few shandy's !!
I agree some of the prices are crazy makes me wonder what I would get for mine

Sorry but I'm a bit thick this morning and don't quite follow, what could you do to a Q that you couldn't to anything else?

I tend to steer clear of anything that ends on a Thursday, Friday or a Saturday after midnight, you just know they've been timed to take full advantage of the beer goggles and auction fever.

But I do watch them so I can giggle at the poor schmuck who, in the morning, nursing his hang over will be a lot lighter in his wallet than they should be.
