I'm going to copy my post from TB here, because after a long nights thought it pretty much sums up what i think.

Thankyou all for the advice, it has really helped me focus on what i really want, John the point you made about me hesitating about it meaning i don't want to sell is bang on, i really really don't, it's just such a large sum that would go a long way on other stuff, but i'd have a massive hole in my life.

I had the best weekend in years at JAE because i had something i could take pride in, it's was 10 years ago the last time i had a show worthy Mk1 of my own, after i sold that it has been nothing but customers projects and V8 Mk1, there's the thing, when i sold that it felt like losing an arm, but the only thing that kept me motivated was the current one.

dare i say it, but i think if i sold it i think i'd lose interest in the Mr2 scene because i could never better this car or have the will to build another, i mean what would be the point if i knew it couldn't be bettered and it was no longer unique?

Becky thinks i should sell, but she's looking at it from a Jimmy Choo perspective.

I might regret this from a money point of view because i think we all know i'm never going to get that sort of offer again, but i've found a new Mojo with the car, look forward to the next event and it's just plain hilarious to drive.

Phillis was actually there at the garage when the guy turned up, got out of his car, said whose Mk1 is that, and then spent 2 hours trying to pry it off me, i took him out to show him what it went like and when i stopped for petrol he took the pump off me and filled the tank with V-power and paid for it, the guy is a real gentleman and i've converted his Mk2 to 1mz several years ago, i'm also building a 2gr Mk2 for him, so he is more than serious, Phil was stood there shaking his head in disbelief.

i think ultimately i would lose out too much from an enjoyment point of view, and like you say if he loves it that much he will probably want it in the future when i might sell, but to be honest i can't see me parting with it if
