It's been doing the rounds on the bay for ages BUT the tech is all obsolete and wont work
The ad does say there are 70 pics available on their website, wonder if there might be some of the boot amongst them?

I remember that being for sale when i was looking for a P38 3 years ago!!
The price was something close to £40,000 IIRC..
In reality it's worth nowt, apart from the deal or no deal bloke having owned it....

Proper sorted models are holding a good price..
Dealers though are selling either sub par examples for MINT money.
Or Mint examples for a stupid amount of cash..

Christ they still passin that one about.
Clean outside/interior with spec is going well. They still need same work as all the other half decent ones. Nanocom would knock few grand off that one no doubt
Mine is also a ‘unique’ model

I guess it is worth what someone is willing to pay for a 1997 P38 with some obselete toys. It looks on nice nick so £2k for me.
I couldn't give a crap whether it was owned by Noel Edmunds or Noel Gallagher or any other Noel. The concept car part is more interesting but how much extra? £500? A grand? The former for me.
But then I'd use it. This is hoping someone with an estate and large garage like Jay Leno might buy it and put it in storage until it appeciates. Odd place to sell though. They'd do better taking it to a specialist auction in the States.

All P38's will either be museum pieces or scrapped if governments get their way, the second hand value is, in reality, zero now.

I think Euro 6 for diesels came in in 2015, not sure about petrol engines.

read a 'lifestyle' opinion on how all old cars should be scrapped as they're inefficient pollution makers and never serviced.. thing is, 'vintage' vehicles are often 'better than new' and serviced better than new cars. most also do only low mileage

Scrapping an old car creates a lot of pollution and waste, making anew car creates more pollution, letting me do my 10K miles a year might be less polluting than allowing the production of new cars with huge gas guzzling engines with more power than can ever be used on the road, There seems to be a degree of hypocrisy about it all.

Vintage cars in the strict sense of the word are pre 1930, later cars from the 50s and 60s and 70s are technically known as classics.
The facts that you state above are reflected in the fairly generous exemptions for historic vehicles, over 40 years old.
That would be about right, if your mileage is fairly low, it would be much better for the environment to keep your old car.
If you are a salesman averaging 50k plus a year, it would probably be better to get a new one.
There is a degree of hypocrisy about it, but legislation has to be tailored to the majority of people, and takes time to evolve to new realities.
The owners of vehicles between 10 and 40 years old at present are caught in a bit of a legislative grey area at the moment, at least in the UK.

Here in France, I can no longer go to most major cities in my P38 diesel and by 2025 it will have to be scrapped if the government get their way. That may well change when the riots start again as most rural dwellers in France have old cars and are without the financial means to replace them, that includes me. On the other hand, if I re-register my 34 year old MR2 as a collectors car, I will still be able to use it. I'm looking into getting a pony & trap for the weekly shopping run
