Have you listed on here as for sale and/or the club site?

That way it goes to an enthusiast.

Of course eBay is another option for you also, if you want a very quick sale?

A basic advert on Pistonheads with 3 photos is free, so that's a good starting point. Personally I swear by Autotrader, as ebay is a great place to sell your car- if you want less than the market value! Maybe I'm being a little cruel, but Autotrader has worked well for me in the past. Take some good photos and spend a little time writing a good description, and you can't go far wrong.

Auto-trader has always had the best results for me, then EBay but often get pain in the arse customers there!

I still love this marque and I will still be around, preferred selling to breaking, as a great runner and performer"

I've never sold, but if I am looking for a car, I'd always start with Autotrader.

Apart from anything else, it's easier to search for the car you want.

more and more people tend to look at ebay as a first port of call, then generally move onto auto trader. piston heads is getting ever more popular, with the added incentive of it being free, and generally has the cliche of selling more sportier cars (or badly chaved in most cases) so its got to be worth a try if nothing else?
wish i could afford to insure it, otherwise id probably be driving it now :roll: looked a very clean car at andy's meet ;)

I have found Autotrader to be excellent - but I have not sold that many cars.

Two went the day after the advert appeared.

You could try ebay - look at the fees - and put a realistic reserve on it.
