In that thread you didn't claim it to be a X11 nor were selling it as one, which is why no-one said anything to the contrary. As you said yourself, you were very happy with it. If you had of asked what it was before or after, I'm sure someone would have told you.
I do apologise however if my post caused you to state I'm one of the ' know it alls ' on Preds on o0ple who's opinion doesn't really matter to you, Thats fine. But then again, if I'm being compared to a collector that who's opinion you respect but who wrongly sold it to you as a X11 as you said earlier, then I'm not that bothered as he/she really doesn't know anything about them.
Interesting thing is, in that thread you linked to you seemed to have brought it with the original shocks on it, not the XRS/X10 shocks you were selling it with. Why did you change them btw ?
If you want help, as Retro RC kindly suggested, here is my advice. With Preds, originality is everything. Put the original blue early shocks & springs back on it, if you still have them. Take the hand-made carbon rockers off and just use the originals that are probably still underneath. Take off the later wings, replace with period ones and add a period body shell - speak to Steve Haskins about them. Find a correct motor plate, which seems to be missing.
Then add some correct wheels, go through the suspension parts and replace anything later with period, and hey presto, it's a extremely tidy Pred that is worth every penny of what you are asking, as good, original carbon fibre tubbed cars are worth more than more common later versions, as you yourself said in the original thread. And you will still make some money selling the later parts separately on EBay.
