£10.5k I'd sell it instantly mate
BUT
I would also keep it for show season, maybe sell half way though?

Get this show season out of the way and raise even more interest in the car then sell it 
I would be tempted to drive to the shops in it though to see what sort of looks you would get

I know you have put alot of work into this car, but do a full show season and then just enjoy the car, get it insured and tak it out for a spin. To see the looks on peoples faces as u drive by them would be great.

Sell it,
its won the shows and got a cover shoot,i feel if keep another year people wont be as keen! YOU would be stupid not to accept 10k for it now!
Id say sell it, and get a house and modify the astra turbo,actually enjoy driving the car! Jag corsa can never be road worthy!
Id say sell it and move on!

I'm with Kerry on this one mate, you reallllllly want the car to hold its value, personally if you have been offered over 10k i would take it chances are you wont see that offer again  i sometimes think about selling my car just so i can put money towards a flat or house

yea i know wot u guys are saying!!!! its just hard to sell up cos of all the work i have put into it and if i started another project similar wud take me 1-2years to get it to same standard as the jagcorsa!
dont really want to do much else to the astra cos worried bout the fuel consumption as it is!!!
gonna be a shock i know going from 85bhp 1.4 8v fuel bill to 286bhp 2litre tubo fuel bill - lol

providing you dont always have a heavy foot the astra won't be that bad  , my Xe is far better on fuel than my 1.4 engine was if just run calmly ........... stay off the boost  . You'll figure out what you are going to do mate

Imagine the sound system you could fit in it too

all depends on how much more features u want.....
ur've put alot of hard work into the car and the reward for it has been the features and recongition
however.... 10.5k is alot of money..... and may be best to sell up now and run with the cash then to try to sell it after the season has ended
pew pew pew pewwwww

sell it while its still fresh, one stone flies up off the road and cracks a bit of the filler, then your guna loose 3k value or summat, sell while its still perfect

anyway, i would probably keep it and do a full show season with it and then decide next year
totally what i thought. the buyer will have to be a company or a person who has money to burn! or they might just like to show a car off at shows! good luck what ever u decide to do. get one more years shows out of it!
